In 1990, family farm owner Donald Barlow planted a seed that would quickly blossom into a source of nourishment for hungry young minds.
A 1933 graduate of Hudson High School, Barlow established the Hudson Public Schools Endowment Fund to help fellow Hudson High graduates pursue knowledge through post-secondary education. It has since led to the creation of nearly two dozen funds benefiting the system's five schools and their students. These funds reward excellence in all areas of student life, from academics and athletics to moral leadership and entrepreneurship. They also support teacher grants for student-centered programs and projects that enrich learning.
If you're a Hudson High School student, you're bound to find a scholarship opportunity that suits your interests. Applications and instructions are available on the Hudson High School SchooLinks site. Or, call the guidance office at 330-653-1420.
Community members who wish to support our Hudson students and teachers can also make a tax-deductible donation to any of our funds using the links below. Thank you for helping us continue to enrich the educational experience within Hudson City Schools!
