A Trigg County High School senior has been named a Hagan Scholarship recipient.
Tyler Jacobs, who will attend Western Kentucky University, plans to double major in finance and accounting and minor in entrepreneurship. He recently learned he would receive the scholarship providing him with $7,500 each semester. Since Jacobs is receiving the scholarship, he will have access to other Hagan scholars and alumni.
He will also get $1,000 to purchase college essentials this summer, along with other funding as he continues his college career.
The Hagan Scholarship is a nationwide need-based merit scholarship, designed to provide recipients with the opportunity to graduate college debt-free. Applicants must attend a traditional public high school governed by a school district.
Free workshops, free Schwab Brokerage accounts, and free study abroad opportunities provide recipients with a practical understanding of important life skills not typically covered in the school curriculum. Recipients graduating college while in the Hagan Scholarship Program can apply for a Hagan Graduate Scholarship good for up to four additional consecutive semesters to attend graduate school.
Hagan Scholars have attended 429 colleges and universities in America, with over 2,900 scholarships being awarded.
