Is there a limit on the amount of money that´s given to a student?
Yes. The four-year scholarship includes tuition, room and board and a book allowance at the selected college or university (up to $25,000/year). The Board of the Hurliman Scholarship Foundation will work with the specific institution to make sure the above expenses are covered. The exact amount of the award will depend on the cost of the selected college or university and will also depend on whether the student is awarded any other scholarships. The Foundation may also award one-year scholarships. |
