Social Science students are eligible for the

  • Aurelia Haehn Memorial Scholarship
    • This scholarship was established by Dr. James O. Haehn, in memory of his mother Aurelia Haehn. Mrs. Haehn strongly believed in the value of education and the benefits of hard work.

The intent of this scholarship is to provide financial assistance, recognition, and incentive to a promising student majoring in social science. 
  • Alumni Scholarship
