2026–27 school year
This year’s awards have been made.
The published June 30, 2026 application deadline has passed. For questions about the next application cycle, email scholarships@habele.org.
Understand the program.
Habele considers financial need and academic merit. Scholarships usually cover part of tuition and fees; families pay the remainder. Payments are made directly to schools.
Continued support requires academic progress, regular reporting, and a new application each year.
Prepare your application.
The published 2026–27 requirements are below for reference. Confirm the current form and requirements before applying for a later school year.
Applying for the first time
- Complete every line of the application, then sign and date it. Write “none” or “unknown” where appropriate.
- Include evidence of school enrollment, such as an enrollment letter or transcript.
- Include household-income documentation, such as W-2 forms or recent pay stubs.
- Include a recent photograph of the student.
- Send the form and required attachments together.
The published rule allows one new application per family each year. If your family does not have the listed income documents, contact Habele for guidance.
Renewing a scholarship
Complete, sign, and date the application, and include:
- Evidence of school enrollment, such as the student’s most recent report card.
- Household-income documentation, such as W-2 forms or recent pay stubs.
- A recent photograph of the student.
Send the form and attachments together. Renewal also requires completion of the previous school year’s reporting requirements.
Applied before, or returning after a gap?
The form has New, Repeat, and Renewal categories. If you’re unsure which applies to you, email scholarships@habele.org before completing it.
