Hillsborough Education Foundation 2020 Senior Scholarship Award
Hillsborough Education Foundation continues its longest running program of granting scholarships to graduating Hillsborough High School seniors, and proudly announces Emily Orr as the winner of HEF’s 2020 Senior Scholarship.
Emily is now a busy freshman at Villanova University, majoring in Mechanical Engineering. She rooms with another student athlete and said Villanova is doing a great job of balancing safety with student engagement during the pandemic. Her rigorous schedule still gives her time to play as a catcher for Villanova’s softball team, participate in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and volunteer on the inclusion crew for Villanova’s Special Olympics Fall Fest, the largest student-run Special Olympics event in the United States. HEF congratulates Emily and wishes her the best as she continues her education.

Education foundations promote excellence in education by funding activities that would not otherwise be funded through the traditional school district budget.
