Recipients of the Toye and Richard Payne Scholarship For Athletics will be selected by the Office of Financial Planning and must be a member of one of High Point University’s intercollegiate athletic teams in good social and academic standing. Preference will be given to those who demonstrate significant financial need with the combined income of the student’s parents and/or guardians not to exceed $200,000. Recipients must demonstrate a strong Christian faith through participation in HPU’s campus ministries, a local church, or another religious organization deemed acceptable by the High Point University Office of Financial Planning.
