Scholarships/Scholarship Endowment

 

Over the past years, PCHPS has expanded its commitment to education in the Park Cities. In 2011, the society’s board voted to allocate funds from the Historic Home Tour, the Distinguished Speaker Luncheon, and the Classic & Antique Car Show to fund endowed scholarships with the Highland Park Education Foundation for deserving HPHS graduating seniors. The award is given annually to students interested in architecture or history which reflects our organization’s passion for the significance of historic preservation.

PCHPS and its supporters have built the Endowment with the Highland Park Education Foundation to $250,000. Plans are now underway to steadily increase the scholarship and partner with the school district to emphasize the importance of education and comprehension of the rich heritage of our unique community.
