In order to perpetuate Clarence and Lucille�s spirit of giving in the next generation, the Trustees are adding a new requirement for scholarship eligibility�something that will increase our appreciation for their generosity toward us and give us the incentive to �paying it forward� to others. Recipients will now be required to:

1. Fulfill five hours of community service each semester in an area outside of your normal sphere of involvement. This might include things like Special Olympics, police �Ride-a-Long� programs, food banks, homeless shelters, Adopt-a-Highway programs, Habitat for Humanity, Meals on Wheels etc.
2. Submit a 300-600 word essay on your experience. (That�s about one half to one full page.) This report must include the dates of service and contact name and number of a person who can verify your service. The report can be submitted in hard copy or by email with your application for the next semester�s distribution.

We look forward to seeing how you will make the world a little better because of your involvement in the Hillard Educational Trust!
