2025 HBA Founders Scholarship Fund
The Founders Scholarship Fund is a non-profit organization that is part of our local HBA. We contribute to students annually who are pursuing a degree directly related to the building industry. There are two types of applications.
1) For current High School Seniors who plan to enroll in College in the Fall of 2025 and
2) Current College Students. The Founders Scholarship Committee awards scholarships based on merit, financial need and field of study.
