Robert J. Hiler Memorial Scholarship

The Robert J. Hiler Memorial Scholarship, administered by the Unity Foundation of La Porte County, supports the dependents of Hiler Industries workers. To qualify, an applicant must be the natural or legally adopted child of an employee who has completed at least one year of service with the company. Eligible students must enroll full-time at an accredited, tax-exempt college or university to pursue an undergraduate bachelor's degree.

This program requires a separate application process rather than the foundation's general scholarship application. While the provider does not explicitly detail how the program integrates with federal or state financial aid, applicants typically complete the FAFSA to establish financial need and coordinate overall aid packages with their chosen institution. The application cycle for this specific scholarship runs from January 1 – May 29, 2027. Students must submit all required materials within this timeframe to be considered for funding.
