New $2,500 Scholarship for Alumni Children
Executive Director of Alumni Relations Dan Noyes is pleased to announce that Houghton College will honor its alumni and their children by offering an annual scholarship of $2,500 to all accepted applicants for admission who have at least one parent who is a Houghton alumnus. Recommended by the Admission Office and endorsed by the Alumni Board in their October 2008 meeting, this award will apply to all new first time students (alumni dependants) who enroll from 2009 onward. Students who remain in good standing can renew this award annually up to a maximum of four years.
The alumni scholarship is an ongoing scholarship program that will benefit alumni and their children for years to come. All who attended Houghton or United Wesleyan College for at least one semester, whether on the traditional campus or as part of the PACE program, are considered alumni and are eligible to have their children benefit from this scholarship.
