Forester Fund
Each year Huntington University awards approximately $10,000,000 in aid through the different programs reflected on this page. These funds are provided, in part, by the generosity of alumni and friends who give to the Forester Fund. Thank you to those who make these awards possible for current and future Foresters.
Academic Awards
