HILLSDALE STANDS ON ITS PRINCIPLES

Hillsdale College is unique among institutions of higher learning for its principled refusal of federal and state taxpayer subsidies. This academic year, Hillsdale is replacing over $5.4 million in federal tuition aid monies, along with $529,000 in Michigan grants and scholarships.

But Hillsdale is unique in another very important way -  it welcomes military recruiters to its campus. The article republished here by Wall Street Journal columnist William McGurn highlights how Hillsdale differs from Ivy League schools such as Harvard.

The College offers scholarships that assist qualified students in replacing GI Bill funds. Some examples are:

The Werner J. and Margaret F. Gogel Endowed Scholarship Fund benefits veterans who have served in the United States Marine Corps Infantry, as well as their children or grandchildren.

The Jack R. and Annette H. Henderson Scholarship was established for students at any grade level who have served in a branch of the armed services or intend to serve in the military upon graduation.

The Arthur Hercz Endowed Initiative for Leadership scholarship gives first consideration of awards to students who have served in the armed forces.

The Perkins Foundation Military Scholarship is awarded to honorably discharged veterans and may cover up to full tuition, room, board, fees, and books.

To assist Hillsdale students, gifts toward military scholarships at Hillsdale will be met on a dollar-for-dollar basis up to $200,000 through a challenge grant issued by an anonymous private foundation.
