and the Dollars for Scholars (United Methodist Higher Education Foundation) family of community scholarship foundations. Hendrix
has agreed that Dollars for Scholars awards of up to $1,000 per student will not
adversely affect scholarship funding provided by Hendrix.
Murphy Foundation Scholarship
Any admitted El Dorado High School student who qualifies for the El Dorado Promise is eligible to compete for the Murphy Foundation Scholarship Award at Hendrix College. This competitive scholarship will cover:
- Full tuition
- Fees
- Standard double-occupancy room
- Unlimited meal plan
Three students will be selected through a competitive process to receive this last-dollar scholarship, which is applied after the El Dorado Promise, state aid, and federal Pell Grant funds. This scholarship will replace any previously awarded Hendrix merit-based aid.
Students who are not selected as one of the three recipients will still receive a $4,000 Murphy Foundation Scholarship, awarded in addition to their existing Hendrix merit scholarship.
