Parents
You have high hopes for your student's education and we do too. As a student of Hanover College, your family member is given the opportunity to learn and grow with a host of faculty and staff dedicated to their success. Our campus takes great pride in the experts that understand that acquirement of knowledge is just the first step in an education, and that application and thorough understanding of a topic is what defines true wisdom.
You can also be assured that our campus is a diligent and responsive guardian of your student's safety and that our close campus community is a family in itself. The ties and friendships your student forms here will last a lifetime and the memories of Hanover will remain with them always.

Hanover Legacy
Family connections have long been a part of the success of Hanover College and its students. Hanover honors accepted legacies with a Legacy Award which is awarded to immediate relatives of Hanover College alumni and current students to remind us that the most important part of the College is not its building but its people. The Legacy Award is in the amount of $2,000 per year.
Please go to: www.hanover.edu/alumni/volunteer/prospect to refer your potential legacy or legacies so they can learn about the benefits of becoming part of the Hanover College family. For more details about the Legacy Award: www.hanover.edu/admission/financialassistance/scholarships/legacyaward
