Last Thursday HRCEF participated in one of the most important nights of the school year -- Scholarship Night at the HRVHS Bowe Theater.

Together with grantors, families, friends, teachers, counselors, and volunteers, we celebrated the success and achievements of the class of 2026. Students arrive knowing they have received a local scholarship, but not which ones. When their names are announced, everyone cheers!

This year we were thrilled to award more than $300,000 to 51 seniors. We hope these scholarships illustrate the support and confidence this community has in you as you further your education. We wish you the best as you embark on this next chapter.

Thank you to the family, friends, and educators in our community who have supported these students and their dreams. Thank you to the grantors and donors for supporting our seniors as they take the next steps in advancing their education.

Many HRCEF scholarships are entirely funded by community donations, including the Board of Directors Scholarship Fund. If you would like to help HRV seniors achieve their educational and career goals, follow the link below to make a contribution to our scholarship fund:
