Robert Sextro Scholarships

Robert Sextro, former Hillsboro High School math teacher of 28 years, established two scholarship funds with the Hillsboro Community Foundation before he passed away in 2016.  These are the C.M. Sextro Memorial Math Scholarship Fund and the Hillsboro High School Citizenship Award Fund.

Since 2013, a total of $18,125 in math scholarships and $4,400 in citizenship awards have been issued from these scholarship funds to graduating seniors of Hillsboro High School.

During September, donations to the funds will be matched as part of HCF’s Dollars For Scholars campaign, doubling the size of each donation.  This is a great opportunity to grow the funds and increase the size of scholarships.  More information is available at the HCF website.
