Hedison Family Scholarship Endowment

In memory of Harry D. Hedison Sr. Income from endowment for scholarships awarded annually to support outstanding students in the College of Business Administration and the College of Engineering on a fifty-fifty basis. The scholarships will be directed toward incoming freshmen as well as upperclassmen who demonstrate academic merit (minimum 2.80 Q.P.A) as well as financial need (as determined by the financial aid office). The endowment will serve to assist the University of Rhode Island with its student recruitment and student retention efforts. A student awarded a Hedison Family Scholarship as an incoming freshman will qualify for an annual renewal of the scholarship as long as he/she meets the academic criteria. Overall preference will be given to students from the State of Rhode Island, but the University’s Financial Aid Office will have the flexibility to award Hedison Family Scholarships to deserving out-of-state students. In the event that not enough students from the College of Business Administration and/or Engineering qualify in a given year for the scholarships, the Financial Aid Office will have the ability to award scholarships to deserving students in other academic disciplines.
