The James E. Hunter Association’s mission is to award scholarships to local graduating high school students and provide need-based educational grants for the local community. Your donation will fund our James E. Hunter Memorial Scholarship Fund, which we award to students who have displayed academic excellence and contributed their time and passion to the communities they serve.
Since its founding in 2007, the James E. Hunter Association has awarded over $250,000 in scholarships and grants to deserving recipients. To date, 95 students have received scholarships, and grants have supported essential community initiatives, including food pantries, domestic violence shelters, back-to-school rallies (providing supplies and books), and tutoring programs.
