Hayes, Michael T. Military Veterans Textbook Fund
The Michael T. Hayes Military Veterans Textbook Fund was created in August 2014 with a gift from Mr. Michael T. Hayes. Candidates and/or recipients may be from any branch of the U.S. military.

- The scholarship will be offered fall and spring semesters only (no summer sessions)
- A recipient may apply for the scholarship for a subsequent semester (i.e., he/she is not limited to one time only)
- Applications will be reviewed by a representative of the University’s Military Services Center and shared with Mr. Hayes. Final approval will be made by Student Financial Aid.

- Anyone with veteran status who has not been dishonorably discharged
- Undergraduates or graduates in good academic standing
