Establishing a Scholarship
Providing scholarships for deserving students is one
of the most generous acts an individual, family, business or
organization can do. Generous donors have found that establishing a
scholarship fund through the Foundation is a valuable and meaningful
way to support the community, while providing the opportunity to pay
tribute to a special person or keep the memory of a loved one alive.
Once established, the Hilton Education Foundation promotes the
scholarship, selects the recipient and manages contributions to the
fund.
