The Hilliard Education Foundation impacts students’ lives by inspiring and supporting innovative learning experiences that advance student achievement in academics and citizenship.

Established in 1989, the Hilliard Education Foundation is led by a working Board of Trustees composed of parents, district residents, and community leaders.

 Grants

Since traditional public school funding sources do not always allow teachers to initiate new and creative learning experiences, the foundation helps our schools provide the "extras" that can make a difference. All Hilliard School District teachers and staff are eligible to apply for an HEF grant. Grants are awarded on a competitive basis each spring for the following school year. Non-competitive grants are also available based on a donor’s specified criteria.

 Scholarships

The foundation manages and awards college scholarships to graduates from Hilliard Bradley (beginning with the first senior class in 2011),  Hilliard Davidson and Hilliard Darby High Schools. The scholarships are awarded each spring to selected applicants in accordance with the donor's intentions.  

 Star Awards

The Board of Trustees annually selects "stars" from the community who have made a significant contribution to the Foundation and our school district.
