"Anybody who truly wants to go to college can get the funds to do so through FAFSA or through scholarships, but it takes hard work and dedication on the student's part." ~ Jasmine, high school graduate and scholarships recipient

 Every year hundreds of deserving students benefit from the Hillsborough Education Foundation scholarship programs.

Offering a student the chance to further their education beyond high school is a dream come true for many. With the rising cost of postsecondary education, it is difficult for many families to support their child's desire to pursue training in technical fields or earn a college degree. Unfortunately, the Foundation does not have the funding to award to all qualified and deserving students.

Hillsborough Education Foundation partners with corporations, civic, and charitable organizations and individuals to make this dream a reality. Many of the gifts for scholarships can be matched. Donors may have their gift matched up to four times its amount.  Donors contributing towards scholarships at a certain dollar amount may name the scholarships, help identify the recipients, and participate in the annual awards ceremonies with students.

Thank you to all Scholarship donors.
