Information
Scholarships
- Scholarships are another form of financial
assistance. Many organizations offer scholarships based on a variety of
criteria, such as: area of study, academic or athletic ability, residence,
or need. Possible sources include the Eagles, Elks, Rotary Clubs, Kiwanis,
Lions, Knights of Columbus, unions and churches. If you are a high school
senior, check with your high school guidance counselor for additional
sponsors. Scholarship information is
also available on the Worldwide Web.

Haven University also provides scholarships to help our students supplement the
cost education.

freshmen, and one for transfer students.
