HII Scholarship Fund

Financial assistance for dependent children of HII employees pursuing post-secondary education or qualifying pre-kindergarten school readiness programs.

About the Fund

The HII Scholarship Fund was established in 2016 to provide financial assistance to dependent children of HII employees who are pursuing a post-secondary college or technical-vocational degree and to dependent children who are enrolled in qualifying pre-kindergarten school readiness programs.

Individual award amounts range from $3,000 for selected students enrolled in a four-year college program to $1,500 for selected students enrolled in two-year programs; the post-secondary awards are renewable for recipients who remain in good academic standing. The fund also awards scholarships of up to $3,000 for pre-school education costs.

Children of all HII employees are eligible to apply, with the exception of children of senior executives and those employees who have been with the company for less than two years. The HII Scholarship Fund is administered by Scholarship America. No employee or officer of HII plays a part in the selection process.

The 2026-2027 Application Period Has Closed

Scholarship America expects to notify selected applicants in late July 2026. Watch for correspondence to the email account used in the application process. Selected applicants must accept the award before payment can be made. HII plays no part in the selection or payment process.

Building Stronger Communities Through Education

At HII, we believe education is the foundation for a brighter future. Since 2016, the HII Scholarship Fund has awarded millions in scholarships to the children of our employees. It's one of the many ways we invest in our people and in the communities where we live and work.

HII School Readiness Scholarship Fund

The first steps in learning can shape a lifetime of possibilities. That's why the HII Scholarship Fund helps HII employees give their children the strongest start, with scholarships of up to $3,000 for pre-K education. When we invest in early learning, we're planting seeds for future engineers, innovators, and leaders.

HII Post-Secondary Education Scholarship Fund

College is a big investment and we want to help make it easier for HII families. The HII Scholarship Fund offers up to $3,000 for students enrolled in four-year programs and $1,500 for two-year programs. These awards are renewable, so your child can stay focused on their education and future, while you have peace of mind.

Investing in Our Future, One Student at a Time

Since 2016, the HII Scholarship Fund has helped hundreds of dependent children of HII employees pursue their dreams, whether that's college, technical training, or even pre-K readiness. Today, those same children are thriving in their careers and communities. This is the power of investing in education and it's why we continue to support our employees' families every year through the HII Scholarship Fund.

“My family is so thankful to have received the HII Scholarship for my son starting pre-school. It really took away some of that stress around having to worry about books and registration fees. I hope more families take the opportunity to apply because it truly made a difference for us.”
