“Every graduating high school student is eligible for a scholarship ranging from $1000-$5,000.” Each time I share that fact about the Hill Country Community Foundation, people are amazed that we are able to do that by investing over $300,000 in our students each year. The HCCF is truly about Your Generosity - Our Community and Their Future.
What started as a project of the Rotary Club of Burnet over 35 years ago, has turned into a Foundation that changes lives every day. Whether it’s our support of the Seton Kids Care-A-Van, the Boys and Girls Club or our scholarship program, the HCCF wants to make a difference in our community and in the lives of our young people. I hope you will take time to read a few of the many success stories of our graduates. The theme is often the same as our graduates share that the Hill Country Community Foundation launched them into their future by providing a scholarship that allowed them to go to college or a trade school.
The founders of the HCCF planted an important seed many years ago, and it has been this community that has nurtured its growth. I hope you will consider supporting the HCCF by sharing our story with others and by considering a financial gift so that we can continue to be a launching pad for students.
