Hahn Scholarship

North Park University invites applications for the Virginia E. Hahn Memorial Scholarship by first-year entering students who plan to study history with the intent to teach history at the high-school or university level.

The value of the Hahn Scholarship will be approximately $5,000 per year in addition to other scholarships or grants awarded by North Park. The Hahn Scholarship is renewable annually.

Students are selected based on the following criteria:

• Admission to North Park University as a first-year student for the fall semester
• Completion of the online Hahn scholarship application
• ACT/SAT test scores
• High-school academic record, including GPA and class rank
• Applicant's intent to major in history

Recipients of a Hahn Scholarship are notified by April 1.

Requirements of the Scholarship

• Enrollment in a history class during both semesters of the first year at North Park
• A timely declaration of history as a major
• Admission into the education program at a timely point if the student intends to teach at the high-school level
• Once enrolled in the respective history and education programs, timely progress toward completion

The application deadline is March 1 for students matriculating the following fall.

Restrictions

• If a student competes for and is offered both the Hahn Scholarship and the Trustee Award, the student must choose only one.
