STUDENT FEEDBACK

This scholarship has allowed me to focus on my studies rather than get a job during university so I have less stress.


It was the simplest scholarship I have applied for. Very easy to understand and follow.


I honestly believe that the foundation is actively making a difference in the lives of many students. Personally, the Hetland Educational Foundation has kept me motivated throughout my years to achieve the goals that I had coming out of high school.
