On April 10, 2026, Hill College will host the 21st annual Boots & Suits event at the Union House in Cleburne, Texas, from 6:30 to 10 p.m. This time-honored event celebrates and supports access to higher education by raising scholarship funds for Hill College students and strengthens the college’s ability to lead students toward success. 

“We believe every student deserves the opportunity to pursue their goals and build a better future. Each year, we serve over 5,000 students, many of whom face significant financial barriers on their path to success,” said Executive Director of Institutional Advancement Ashlee Ferguson. “By supporting this event, you’re helping a student’s ability to stay enrolled, earn a credential, and change their life through education.” 

Community support of Boots & Suits is an important part of Hill College’s ability to lead students to success and continue its mission to be a beacon of excellence. Through the college’s four career pathways (Arts & Humanities, Business & Industry, Health & Public Service, and STEM), students can focus the direction of their education. Each pathway is geared toward guiding students in their area of interest, serving as a tool to help them better align their education and job training with their desired careers.  

Businesses, organizations, and individuals interested in sponsoring Boots & Suits have several partnership levels to choose from, Presenting Partner for $10,000, providing four scholarships; Platinum Partner for $7,000, providing three scholarships; Gold Partner for $5,000, providing two scholarships; Silver Partner for $3,000, providing one scholarship; Bronze Partner for $1,250; and Partner for $750. Individual tickets are also available for purchase.  Each level offers benefits to sponsors, including special recognition before, during, and after the event as well as a select number of complimentary tickets to the event. 

This year the college is thrilled to announce that KYA has agreed to be our Legacy Partner, with a gift of $25,000.
