  • Provide any additional documentation as requested by HESC to verify eligibility.

Deadline:

  • Teaching must commence within three years of completing the graduate degree program.
  • Failure to fulfill the service obligation will result in the conversion of the scholarship to a 10-year student loan with interest. The interest rate will be fixed and equal to that set annually by the U.S. Department of Education for federal Family Loan Program PLUS Loans at the time the service contract is signed.

Additional Information:
