An Adult Learner Scholarship is available at each campus each semester. The scholarship amount and the awarding of the scholarship for any semester will be determined by the Scholarship Selection Committee. The scholarship will be for an amount not exceeding $500 per semester of full time study for two semesters. An applicant must meet the following criteria: 1. Does not qualify for the Herzing High School Merit Scholarship or the Henry G. Herzing Scholarship; 2. Demonstrates the need for financial assistance; 3. Receives two written recommendations from employers or educators; and 4. Submits a qualifying essay of 150 to 300 words as to why he/she is pursuing the field of study being applied for and why he/she chose Herzing College. Applicants must complete the application and submit it along with the recommendations and qualifying essay no later than two weeks prior to the start of the first semester to qualify for the Adult Learner Scholarship for that semester start. Students who miss that deadline may submit an application prior to the start of their second semester, but after that time this scholarship is no longer available to them.
