Hulston Family Foundation
The Hulston Family Foundation has demonstrated a strong and sustained commitment to improving the lives of individuals and families through investments in education, health, and community well-being. With a mission centered on supporting children, education, and family stability, the Foundation has been a valued partner in expanding access to opportunity across the region.
At Ozarks Tech, the Hulston Family Foundation has played an important role in supporting students through scholarship funding, particularly for graduates of the Middle College program. Middle College provides a unique educational pathway for high school students to complete their education in a nontraditional setting while earning college credit and preparing for career-focused training.
The Foundation’s investment reflects a shared commitment to serving students who may benefit from additional support as they transition from high school to higher education and workforce training.
Impact
Through the Hulston Family Foundation Scholarship, Middle College graduates are provided financial support as they continue their education at Ozarks Tech. The scholarship prioritizes students who are pursuing career and technical education pathways, helping them build practical skills that lead directly to employment opportunities.
This targeted support helps remove financial barriers and ensures that students who have already demonstrated resilience and determination through the Middle College program can continue their educational journey. The scholarship is renewable and may be used for tuition, fees, and books, providing meaningful and sustained assistance.
The Hulston Family Foundation’s ongoing support is also reflected in its inclusion among long-standing scholarship partners recognized by Ozarks Tech, contributing to the more than $650,000 awarded annually in Foundation scholarships.
Through this continued investment, the Foundation is helping create pathways to success for students while strengthening the workforce and communities across southwest Missouri.
