Claim Your 2026 HCA OR TSA-HCA Academic Scholarship Award
SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS MAY NOT BE CLAIMED AFTER TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2026. NO EXCEPTIONS. We strongly recommend you do so as soon as you are informed of your award to ensure payment is ultimately processed by your institution as swiftly as possible.
Please carefully read the instructions before you fill out and submit the form below.
- If there are any errors or you do not follow instructions: your scholarship award payment may be lost in the mail or your institution may be unable to process it. HCA cannot issue and mail a replacement check until we receive your original check in the mail at our HQ, which may ultimately delay your institution’s receipt of award funding another 1+ month(s).
- If the information is correct and as requested: your check will be mailed within 5-15 business days from the date of submission. Mail transit will take an additional 3 business days. Beyond that, your institution may take up to an additional 3 weeks to process your award.
We recommend checking in with institution weekly starting 3 weeks after submission to confirm receipt and processing.
