I was in my graduate studies when I applied for the scholarship. One thing about the scholarship is that you have to be attending college or graduate school as a full time student.

HSF provided me a $2,500 check in my name for me to attend that semester. They sent me a letter and a stuffed animal from Target. I say Target because they were responsible for sending me the monies.
