Financial Aid
Heartland has a limited number of financial aid opportunities available to the student. These include institutional scholarships that are provided for need, merit, and service.
Students should pursue every opportunity for additional financial assistance from other sources which might include: family resources, help from the home church, church scholarship funds, alumni scholarship funds, grants available from school districts and community organizations, scholarships from employers, and other private sources.
Institutional Scholarships
All scholarship benefits apply to the regular semesters only and are not available for summer school. Scholarships are available to full-time students unless special circumstances exist and approval is granted by the Administration. Students must maintain a 2.50 grade point average to remain eligible for scholarships.
Following is a list of the institutional scholarships available to eligible students. Please contact the Registrar’s Office if additional information is desired:
Academic Scholarships
A limited number of academic scholarships are available to new students at Heartland and in special cases, continuing students. These scholarships are available based on ability, potential, and need. The scholarship is available for one school year and will include an award of either a $250 or $500 tuition credit.
A letter of request for the scholarship must be submitted by the student to the Registrar's office. The letter must include such items as a statement of purpose, immediate and future goals, why the student desires to attend HBBC, and why the scholarship is needed.
Scholarship awards will be determined by the appropriate committee.
Student Spouse Tuition Discount
The spouse of a full-time student is eligible to receive a $250 tuition credit, provided the full-time student pays full tuition and the spouse is a full-time student.
Sibling Tuition Discount
When two or more single dependent children in a family are enrolled full-time, the second sibling and each subsequent sibling receives a $100 discount off the tuition charge.
The sibling discount requires each student to be full-time, applies to tuition only, and requires the first child to pay full tuition.
Services-Rendered Scholarships
These scholarships require some type of service on behalf of the college. Consideration and award is an Administrative decision. No applications are involved. Examples of these types of scholarship include Resident Advisors, RA assistants, music group scholarships, vacation Bible school team, yearbook editor, work assistance, etc. The student must maintain a 2.50 grade point average to remain eligible for the scholarship. Failure to perform services as required by the scholarship could cause ineligibility and forfeiture of the scholarship.
Other Scholarship Opportunities
Certain scholarships have been established over the years by churches, various groups, and individuals that provide scholarship funds for deserving students. Some have specified conditions that apply. The college will award these monies based on the desires, conditions, and timing as established by the individual, trust, or organization. These other scholarship opportunities include:
• Frank C Earhart Memorial Award (Male, Female)
• Ashley Lynn Carson Memorial Award Scholarship (Junior Male)
• Richard Gosnell Memorial Award (Sophomore or Junior Male)
• Floyd Schexnayder Memorial Scholarship (Junior Music Major)
• Morgan Oster Memorial Scholarship (Junior Missions Major)
• Grady Booth Memorial Scholarship (Freshman, Male or Female)
• Larry Booth Memorial Scholarship (Junior - Male, Female)
• Servant's Heart Memorial Scholarship (Sophomore or Junior - Male or Female)
Work Assistance
This is not a scholarship by definition, but it is a financial arrangement associated with an on campus job. The employee must enroll in the work assistance program as a condition of employment. Under the program, the student will work 20-25 hours per week. From each pay check, 70% will be applied to the student's school bill until the semester is paid off, then the entire money goes to the student unless they desire to build up a credit.
