Home : Admissions : Horizon Students : Scholarships and Financial Assistance
Hollins established the Horizon Program in 1974 to meet the special needs of adult women returning to college. Horizon students can apply for academic scholarships and need-based financial assistance. We are committed to making a Hollins education affordable.
In order to apply for need-based financial assistance, students need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students can complete and mail a paper copy or access the FAFSA online at www.fafsa.edu.gov.
To be considered, you must complete a FAFSA and a scholarship application.
