About Hillsborough Education Foundation HEF’s mission is to strengthen the bridge between our community and Hillsborough Township Public Schools by encouraging community involvement and financial support to enhance public education for students at all levels. HEF was established in 1996 and has a long history of funding innovative programs and classroom initiatives, including the initial funding for the Hillsborough High School robotics team and fundraising for the Hillsborough High School turf field in 2000. One of HEF’s longest running programs has been granting scholarships to graduating Hillsborough High School seniors.
Education foundations promote excellence in education by funding activities that would not otherwise be funded through the traditional school district budget.
