You may submit your entire application here. If you do not have all of the information needed to submit, you may save and return to your application at a later time.

Howard College continues to take scholarship applications throughout the academic year; however, students should meet the priority deadline each year to ensure consideration for all eligible scholarships. Please note that some scholarships are contingent upon funding and may be awarded outside of application deadlines.

Note: Only completed applications will be considered. You must submit the entire application package, including the personal essay, to be considered for Howard College scholarships. If you are a current Howard College student applying for scholarships, our staff will pull your transcripts from the registrar’s office. All other applicants must include their transcripts with the application or have them sent separately. Applicants are strongly encouraged to submit all necessary documents as soon as possible to assure that a last minute delay will not preclude consideration for a scholarship award.

By completing this application, you will be considered for all general Howard College scholarships which you are eligible to receive. Departmental/performance scholarship categories must be marked if you desire to apply for consideration and additional interviews or auditions may be required in order for the student to be considered. You will be contacted separately by the appropriate Howard College staff/faculty if further action is needed.
