Purpose
The Scholarship
The Purpose of the Hagan Scholarship is to provide each scholarship recipient with the opportunity to obtain a four year college education and graduate debt free.
Each Hagan Scholarship will help pay the unmet financial need of the recipient, up to $5,000 per semester. 1. The dollar amount of each scholarship will be determined by HSF by totaling the recipient's cost for Tuition and Fees, Room and Board, Books and Supplies; then, deducting the dollar amount of the recipient’s FAFSA Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and the dollar amount of ALL grants, scholarships, awards and waivers obtained by or awarded to the recipient.
The preferred recipient of a Hagan Scholarship will be a high achieving student with employment experience who aspires to obtain a college education in order to realize his or her full potential.
2. Personal and transportation costs are the responsibility of the recipient.
Q&A How many scholarships are awarded each year?
One hundred fifty (150) new scholarships will be awarded in 2013 and each year thereafter. Eligible States?

For more information, please contact the high school counselor or the principal or a teacher at your high school, or visit our web site at www.hsfmo.org.
Is this a need-based or merit-based scholarship? BOTH. Each applicant must authenticate an unmet
financial need in order to attend college. Scholarship recipients will be selected based upon character, academic ability, achievement in and out of school, and future promise.
Can I transfer my scholarship to another school?
YES. A recipient may transfer one time after the first academic year to another eligible college or university with HSF approval. Why the work requirement?
The Grantor worked during high school and college and believes each scholarship recipient will personally benefit by contributing to the cost of his or her education. Why are the scholarships only for rural counties?
