Financial Aid & Scholarships

Hendrix offers a full complement of achievement-based and need-based scholarships, grants, and low-interest loans from federal, state, and institutional sources. We also have a variety of payment plans that make budgeting easier for students and their families.

The Office of Financial Aid strives to establish partnerships with families. We understand that each family offers a unique financial situation, and we will work with you individually to help you find the resources to fund a Hendrix education. Hendrix is proud to be recognized as a “Best Buy” and “Best Value” by publications such as Fiske Guide, The Princeton Review, and other college guides. We think you will find that we will offer numerous resources and various options for college funding.

You can get started today by following this simple process:

  • Apply for admission
  • Apply for extracurricular scholarships
  • Complete FAFSA by Feb. 15, 2012 to be eligible for the FAFSA early filers grant (Hendrix FAFSA code = 001099)
  • Receive financial aid award letter
  • Submit Enrollment Agreement and Housing Application and $350 enrollment deposit no later than May 1, 2012
  • Arrange financing options

Who is eligible for scholarships at Hendrix?

To be eligible for academic scholarship consideration, students should have a minimum 3.0 GPA on college preparatory subjects and a “super score” of 25 on the ACT or 1140 on the SAT. Hendrix academic scholarships range from $4,000 per year to full tuition, room, board, and fees.

The following criteria are considered in the awarding of academic scholarships: academic performance in college preparatory classes; standardized test scores; leadership abilities; extracurricular and co-curricular activities; and recommendations. Priority consideration for academic scholarships is given to those students who apply for admission prior to November 15 of their senior year.

Odyssey Honors Awards are awarded based on a student’s accomplishments and activities during high school. Hendrix also offers Performing and Fine Arts Scholarships in art, music, and theatre arts and dance; Miller Center Service Scholarships; Leadership Scholarships; and UMYF Scholarships for selected participants who are leaders in the United Methodist Church.

Are there other forms of financial aid?

Yes. Hendrix strongly encourages students to apply for need-based financial aid by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Hendrix will review the FAFSA information the government   returns to the college and will then construct a financial aid package.

Every member of the 2011 entering class received financial assistance, and the average award – including federal, state, institutional, and private funds – was $27,622. The priority deadline for submitting the FAFSA is February 15
