Scholarship Funds

Education changes lives, but believing in someone's potential is transformative.

Our Scholarship Funds empower Home Visitors across the country to further their education, strengthen their skills, and expand their impact in the communities they serve. Each scholarship represents more than financial support – it’s an investment in the potential of dedicated professionals and a message of encouragement and belief.

Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, scholarships are awarded twice a year to help Home Visitors pursue advanced training, certification, or higher education. Your gift directly supports their growth – and, in turn, the thousands of mothers, children, and families they reach. These opportunities not only expand knowledge, but also build confidence and help recipients step forward as stronger leaders, mentors, and advocates for the families they serve. 
When you give to the Scholarship Fund, you’re not just helping one person – you’re helping entire communities prosper.

Kay lived a life of service no matter her own financial situation, which was far too often dire, and she found a way to give to those in need.

Shirley & Sol Kort Scholarship

As a mother devoted to helping newcomers, Shirley held the HIPPY program close to her heart. While she did not have to learn first-hand the challenges of immigration, both she and her husband, Sol, had parents who did. Sol was also an educator and an ardent supporter of women’s rights and education.
