New Hill Scholarship is for Pottstown Postgraduates















Blogger's Note: The following was provided by The Hill School.

Hobart’s Run and The Hill School are pleased to announce creation of The Hobart’s Run Scholarship Fund. This gift will provide substantial student aid to a student from the immediate Pottstown area who wishes to attend The Hill for a post-graduate year.

The Fund’s generous donors, who wish to remain anonymous, have stated that the ideal Hobart’s Run Scholar will demonstrate interest and participation in civic and social responsibility and/or community service and, in particular, in the mission and work of the Hobart’s Run neighborhood and Pottstown improvement initiative.

Hill’s post-graduate program is designed for candidates seeking to strengthen their academic preparation before entering college. Post-graduate participants are required to live on campus and therefore benefit from living away from home, with more freedoms and responsibilities, before joining a college community. 

This opportunity allows young men and young women to pursue higher level courses and improve
The Hill School.
upon athletic, artistic, and other endeavors while enjoying our diverse community and growing in terms of maturity. Each year Hill enrolls 14 to 16 post-graduates from across the country and around the world.

The Hobart’s Run Scholar will be selected by Hill’s Admission Office in consultation with the Headmaster.

Interested candidates must submit a completed application by Jan. 31 and schedule an interview with a Hill admission officer. 

Additional information is available on The Hill’s website, which also includes direction regarding the required admission test options.

“We are so grateful to the donors and excited to be able to offer this scholarship to a highly motivated, talented student from the Pottstown area,” said Thomas Eccleston IV, Hill ’87, assistant headmaster for enrollment management, who noted that substantial financial aid is given each year to local students enrolled in the third form (freshman) through sixth form (senior) years. 

Interested families may contact Eccleston at teccleston@thehill.org.

A 501(c)(3), Hobart's Run works with its residents and property owners to revitalize the neighborhood through projects that create a clean, safe, and inclusive community; provide incentives for home ownership and home improvements; and generate positive, sustainable commercial and retail development. While initially addressing an area of approximately 600 parcels in Pottstown (Queen Street in the south, North Adams on the west, Beech, Grant, and Jackson on the north,
and Keim Street on the east), Hobart’s Run strives to use successes in this focus area to spark and support revitalization throughout the Borough.
