BILLINGS, Mont. – The Education Foundation for Billings Public Schools is reminding high school students and their parents that the deadline for scholarship applications is fast approaching.
According to the Education Data Initiative, the average cost for a high school graduate to attend college in the U.S. is $38,270 per year. This includes books, supplies, and daily expenses.
Shelley Pierce, Development and Community Relations Manager for the Education Foundation, shared insights into the foundation’s efforts to ease the financial burden for families. Pierce emphasized the variety of scholarships available to students each year.
“You know we have some that are $500, we have one that goes up to $6,000. We have ones that are renewable for four years, and so that’s like a $12,000 award. There’s some definite dollars tied to some of these scholarships, and every little bit helps, and I think every student can attest to that,” said Pierce.
Taylor Hutzenbiler, whose family established the Haley Hutzenbiler Memorial Scholarship in 2018, also spoke about their scholarship for students interested in pursuing a career in education. This scholarship honors her late sister.
“We want to do this for the next 100 years essentially, you know, beyond my lifetime. And we want to make sure the scholarship always has funds in it and keep it endowed so that we can be able to continually support those graduating seniors to advance their education,” said Hutzenbiler.
Students interested in applying for these scholarships can visit the Education Foundation’s website. The deadline for applications is March 31.(www.efbps.org)
