Is
there a limit on the amount of
money that´s given to a student?
Yes. The four-year scholarship
includes tuition, room and board and
a book allowance at the selected
college or university (up to
$25,000/year). The Board of the
Hurliman Scholarship Foundation will
work with the specific institution
to make sure the above expenses are
covered. The exact amount of the
award will depend on the cost of the
selected college or university and
will also depend on whether the
student is awarded any other
scholarships. The Foundation may
also award one-year scholarships. |

Suppose
I want to participate in my
college's study abroad program.
Will I still receive my award?
Yes. The Foundation will pay a
scholarship award consisting of
tuition, room and board, and books
(up to $25,000 per year) directly to
a scholarship recipient's attending
college or university for a Study
Abroad or exchange student program
which is in the curriculum of the
attending college or
university. Additionally if a
scholarship recipient selects a
Study Abroad program through a U.S.
company that specializes in
organizing study abroad programs,
and that program is approved by the
attending college or university, the
scholarship award would be paid
directly to that company. No
payments will be made directly to
any overseas college or
university. If the cost of the
study abroad program is less than
$25,000, the difference will revert
back to the Foundation.
NOTE: The Hurliman Scholarship
Foundation will not pay for travel
or personal expenses associated
with the study abroad program.
