David Yuri Hooper Scholarship

The David Yuri Hooper Scholarship was established by David and Wilma Hooper to honor the excellent education received by their son who graduated from Salisbury University in 1994. It provides $1,000 scholarships for incoming, full-time freshman students from (first preference) single-income families demonstrating financial need. The scholarship is renewable annually provided the recipient continues to meet the eligibility criteria. Preference will be given to students majoring in biology, but in the event that there are no qualified biology applicants, students majoring in any other department in the Henson School will be considered. Eligible candidates must submit a two-page essay explaining their need and demonstrating that they are of good moral character. Recipients are selected by the Deans of the Henson School and Enrollment Management.

Since this scholarship requires FAFSA and financial need, final consideration of applications submitted will be to students who demonstrate financial need from the FAFSA once we have the data loaded in the scholarship site in late January. You may be removed from consideration if you do not have financial need as determined by the FAFSA.
