Are you currently an HCEF scholarship recipient?
Both New Scholarship recipients and Renewal Scholarship recipients are required to submit a Notice of Withdrawal Form or Transfer/Reinstatement Scholarship Information Form should there be any disruption or changes in higher education enrollment. Please fill out the Notice of Withdrawal Form if you no longer are enrolled in college. It is the responsibility of the student to notify the Foundation should the student re-enroll in the future. Please complete the Transfer/Reinstatement Scholarship Information Form if you require your scholarship funds to be temporarily held due to transferring colleges or re-enrolling within the current academic year. Scholarship funds are based on availability and eligibility. If you are unsure which form to use, please contact us via email at info@hcef.net or through the online Contact Us form below.
