Introduction
Huron University USA in London operates a comprehensive
scholarship program. Scholarships are awarded primarily on the basis of
academic achievement. Approximately one in three of our students receive
financial assistance and the scholarships awarded are between 10% and
50% of the cost of tuition. There are two full tuition scholarships
available. There are no awards to cover accommodation, living
expenses or travel.
It is important that applicants apply as far in advance of the deadlines
indicated as possible, as the scholarships available are limited.
Application forms for scholarship support are available through the
Office of Admissions for new students and through the Office of the Dean
of Students for continuing students. Applications will be considered in
the order they are received. Scholarships are awarded on the strength of
the application and cannot be deferred if you fail to register for the
semester you applied for.
