HAMBURG, N.Y. – Hilbert College announced it is enhancing its Say Yes to Education scholarship program. Beginning immediately, Hilbert is no longer limiting the number of Say Yes scholarships available to graduates from eligible high schools.
“Hilbert College is thrilled to be able to offer unlimited Say Yes scholarships to deserving students from Say Yes schools in Buffalo, Syracuse, and Cleveland,” Hilbert President Michael S. Brophy, Ph.D., M.F.A. said. “After being awarded a HEOP grant this past summer and enrolling our first class of HEOP students, we viewed this expansion of Say Yes as the next step to making a Hilbert education possible for more students. Increasing access to higher education is not only a priority for us, but it is consistent with Hilbert’s mission, vision, and values.”
Say Yes to Education is a nonprofit that revitalizes communities by helping them give public high school graduates access to higher education.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 800 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college’s engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college’s first graduate programs in criminal justice administration and public administration, including a track in health administration.
