SCHOLARSHIPS
Henderson State offers a wide variety of scholarships for incoming and transfer students. The application for undergraduate admission serves as the scholarship application.
GET INVOLVED
With more than 90 organizations on campus, students have the opportunity to join a sorority or fraternity; perform in band, choir or theater activities; or participate in groups such as the League of Latinos, the Legion of Nerds or eSports. Whether students are interested in social, political, service or religious activities, or anything in-between, there is an organization for them.
