100 Years of Excellence. Celebrating the past. Building the future.


100 Years of Excellence

Hill College turns 100

Hill College turns 100 this year! While we will be celebrating all year long, we had a weekend of fun in September. From Hill College's humble beginnings to a renowned institution, we hope that you spend some time reminiscing over your time here with us as part of our story. 




Centennial Endowment Fund

In celebration of the past and building for the future, we have created a Centennial Endowment Fund. Our goal over the course of our 100th year is to raise $100,000 for deserving students.

These funds will support our associate degree in nursing (ADN) program and our Associate of Arts in Teaching program. These programs were selected based on the high demand for graduates and the continued community need for these professions. With a successful centennial campaign, we hope to expand the creation of endowed scholarships across many of our programs in the years ahead.

These endowed scholarships will award $2,000 each year to a much deserving student. Endowed scholarships have incredible impact because they continue into perpetuity. Your support of this initiative will have long lasting impact on the lives of countless Hill College students. 

Thank you for your support!
