LHU Foundation Scholarship Questions and Answers
Question	Answer
Who is responsible for making selections?	Most recipients are selected by departmental scholarship committees. There are some scholarships and awards which are processed by a committee comprised of representatives from the Admissions Office, Financial Aid Office, the Lock Haven University Foundation, Alumni Office and Student Affairs. Those awards given by departments are listed in the front of this booklet, and those given by the Foundation Committee are listed in the back of this booklet.
Is financial status considered when making selections?	Financial need is often among the criteria stated in the scholarship when established by the donor, while in some cases, it is eliminated. When not included in the selection statement, if applications have equal qualifications, financial status may become a consideration.
Will an award affect your  financial aid?	Federal and State guidelines require that other financial aid be taken into consideration. However, should a reduction be necessary, it will occur in the loan or employment area rather than in the award.
Is there any obligation involved with the scholarship program?	The awards are "gifts" with no repayment or service required. However, in the future, we ask that you support the Foundation with your contributions so that future students will continue to benefit from this program.
Do recipients have to attend Convocation?	Attendance is mandatory in order to receive awards. This is a ceremony which not only recognizes the student recipients but also the benefactors who have established the scholarships and may be present.
