Amanda Cruddas of Killeen, a Howard Payne University senior, was recently honored for the 2012-2013 academic year at the annual Academic Awards Convocation ceremony held on HPU's campus. Cruddas received the Mattie Anderson Hale Scholarship for her achievements in HPU's Department of English.

Founded in 1889, Howard Payne University is a Christ-centered academic community dedicated to excellence by developing and equipping the whole person for intellectual inquiry, personal and professional integrity, and service to God and humanity.

Located in Brownwood, Texas, HPU offers a full array of undergraduate programs and a limited number of graduate programs in a traditional residential academic community. The university also offers selected undergraduate and graduate course work by electronic means and at extended learning centers in El Paso, Texas, and New Braunfels, Texas. HPU maintains a low student-to-faculty ratio, which contributes to the university's reputation of being "a place where everybody is somebody."
