SCHOLARSHIP

Through the EAGLES Scholarship, you can earn your degree in one of Heritage’s STEM (science, technology, engineering or mathematics) majors–Biology, Environmental Science/Studies, Pre-Engineering, Computer Science and Mathematics–with no out of pocket cost for tuition. Ten EAGLES Scholarships will be awarded in Fall 2023. These scholarships are renewable each semester through Spring 2025 while you work towards your bachelor’s degree.

The EAGLES Scholarship is a need- and merit-based award that, when combined with federal and state grants, covers the entire cost of attendance* at Heritage.

In addition to the financial award, EAGLES scholars receive mentorship from faculty and members of the scientific community as well as opportunities to participate in environmental research, and paid internships.

*Total maximum scholarship award is determined by a calculation of maximum need as calculated by the US Department of Education.
