The Development Fund is a program financed by the Fort Hays Honor Society that reimburses students for activities that help further their career and/or education endeavors.  Members of the Fort Hays Honor Society may apply for funds for activities that have occurred at maximum of three months before the application deadline or that are scheduled to occur up to three months after the deadline.  It is important to note that reimbursement cannot occur without receipts or invoices, so it is imperative that itemization on the application matches the provided invoice or receipt.  No money will be granted without an invoice or receipt.  Applicants may receive full, partial, or no financing depending on available funds and committee decisions.  Applicants are subject to an interview if committee members deem necessary.
