A message from Jane Owen, Financial Aid Coordination at Wabash Valley College.
The priority deadline for our Freshmen scholarships is October 29. Students must have applied to the college and also filled out the FAFSA by the 10/29 date. If you need help filling out the FAFSA you may call the college to make an individual appointment. 618- 262-8641 ext. 3154
Reminder for Students and Parents: The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), is a form every student must fill out their Senior year for graduation and also to receive federal financial aid for college. The FAFSA helps determine what financial aid a college bound student may be eligible to receive from state and federal sources, including MAP and Pell Grants, and Stafford Loans. Many colleges require the FAFSA to be completed before a student is considered for any others scholarships offered by the college or university. The FAFSA must be completed online and takes about 30-45 minutes. You will need information including social security numbers and the previous year's taxes. The application and information can be found at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa

2022 Illinois Chemical Education Foundation Scholarship $2000. Deadline March 5, 2022
Information available in the Guidance office
The Hagan Scholarship is a nationwide need-based merit scholarship designed to help rural students graduate college debt-free. The Hagan Scholarship Foundation has awarded over 2,400 scholarships. Over 600 more scholarships can be awarded in April 2022. The scholarship provides up to $48,000 over four years to attend college and other benefits. Hagan Scholars are currently attending 378 colleges and universities located in 46 states.
To be eligible for a Hagan Scholarship, applicants must have a substantial financial need and must graduate from one of over 6,000 eligible public high schools listed on the HSF website. Recipients are selected based upon academic ability, achievement in and out of school, personal goals and future promise.
Recipients of a Hagan Scholarship must maintain a four-year graduation schedule, achieve a 3.00 GPA each semester, maintain a 3.25 CGPA, earn 30 credit hours each academic year excluding summer school credits and work 240 hours in the 12 months prior to fall semester enrollment at college.
To help scholarship recipients obtain a practical understanding of important life skills not typically covered in the college curriculum the Foundation provides a free summer workshop for second and fourth-year recipients, a $15,000 investment account for each second-year recipient to manage until graduation in order to learn “first-hand” how to invest to attain long term financial security, and the opportunity to study and travel abroad after the third year of college at no cost to the recipient.
About 80% of the recipients who graduate college while in the Hagan Scholarship Program will graduate debt-free with several thousand dollars in their personal brokerage account. These individuals are high achieving, hard-working, goal-driven and well equipped to realize their full potential and attain financial security.
