Scholarships

The HSU Department of Philosophy offers two academic scholarships to students majoring or minoring in Philosophy.

• Mrs. Pansy Bond established the W. Truett Walton Endowed Scholarship in Philosophy for philosophy majors and minors in honor of "Dean" Walton, who taught philosophy at Hardin-Simmons from 1927 to 1968. Recipients of this award are designated "Walton Scholars" in philosophy for the academic year.
  
• The Dr. Clyde J. & Mrs. Kathleen C. Hurst Endowed Scholarship for Philosophy is awarded to outstanding philosophy majors and minors.

To apply for either of these scholarships fill out the scholarship application and mail it to:

Chair of the Philosophy Department
HSU Box 15234
Abilene, TX 79698

Both scholarships are awarded on the basis of a student's academic record and an expressed interest in studying Philosophy at HSU.

Students must have a 3.0 grade point average to be eligible for scholarships in philosophy. In addition, only students who have submitted a degree plan or discussed their degree plan with their advisors are eligible for scholarships in philosophy.
