HBA Education Foundation

2021 HILTON HEAD HOME BUILDERS EDUCATION FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP

2021 will mark the 29th year the Hilton Head Area Home Builders Education Foundation has been awarding scholarships to local graduating seniors. As a result of successful fundraising and monetary contributions from HBA members as well as others within the community; the Foundation surpassed its annual goal and was able to increase the value of scholarships from $3,500 in 2018 to $4,000 in 2019; and in 2020 we awarded 16 $2,500 scholarships. The Foundation hopes this success and support from HBA members and the community will continue in the 2020-2021 school year.
