Hemingford graduate Drew Varner has been awarded the prestigious Hagan Scholarship, a national award that will fund his education up to $15,000 per year for four years.
The Hagan Scholarship is a nationwide, need-based merit scholarship designed to help recipients achieve their goals and graduate college debt-free, regardless of nationality. Applicants must graduate from a U.S. high school, including public, private, charter, magnet, and STEM schools, and have an adjusted gross household income not exceeding $100,000 for 2023 Federal Income Tax purposes. The scholarship also offers free workshops, Schwab brokerage accounts, and study abroad opportunities to provide recipients with practical life skills not typically covered in school curriculums.
Recipients who graduate while in the Hagan Scholarship Program can apply for a Hagan Graduate Scholarship, which provides funding for up to four additional semesters in college. Hagan Scholars have attended 518 colleges and universities across 48 states.
