The Education Foundation

The HBA administers the Association's charitable 501c3 organization. The Hilton Head Area Home Builders Education Foundation. The foundation raises funds each year through contributions made by Association members as well as others within the community.

Our mission is to fund and sustain an endowment, which provides continuing education scholarships to high school graduates of the Lowcountry for their academic performance, demonstrated leadership, financial need, and commitment to community.

As tuition costs rise we are faced with the challenge of not only increasing the amount of the scholarships we award, but also the number of recipients who receive them.

2022 has marked another HUGE accomplishment for our committee, which is made up of 21 members & HBA Staff. Since 1992, when the association awarded its first official scholarships, we have raised our efforts 300% from 5 scholarships at $1500 each to 15 at $2,500 each. Our association has given away nearly$500,000 on behalf of our Education Foundation.

We received over 40 applications this year from 15 different area high schools spanning all 3 counties we represent. It is without question that the task of narrowing that number down to just 15 recipients was NO easy feat.

Education Foundation scholarships are awarded to applicants who meet the following criteria:

Graduating high school senior in Beaufort, Jasper or Hampton Counties
Planning to attend a 2 and or 4 year accredited trade/technical school, college or university.
