The Kilar Scholarship

The Kilar Foundation was recently founded in 2017 as a way to give back to the community. The desire to advance the field of manufacturing, and provide an opportunity for higher education, led to the Kilar Scholarship. The Kilar Scholarship is awarded annually to graduating seniors at Hubbard High School, which is the community where the Kilar family works and resides.  The purpose of the scholarship is to encourage young adults to pursue a post-secondary education by attending an accredited trade school or certification program, and to provide opportunity to a higher education.

How to Apply

If you are a graduating senior at Hubbard High School, you may apply in two ways: You may contact your high school guidance counselor with interest, or you can apply online through the Community Foundation of Western PA & Eastern OH via the link below.
