MARGARET J. HILL FOUNDATION

BUILDING A BETTER FUTURE

DEDICATED TO ENHANCING THE LIVES OF OTHERS

ABOUT US

     The Margaret Johnson Hill Scholarship was established in 2013 as a means of continuing the legacy of one who embraced encouraging young people to continue their education.  Margaret Johnson Hill lived by the mantra, "If I can help somebody then my living will not be in vain."  Throughout her life she managed to slip a few dollars into a young person's hand while they were in college.

​

     She never bragged or spoke of her efforts for recognition.  She merely wanted to encourage and lend support to these students.  Many of the things she did were not made known until the recipients revealed them.

​

     It is for this cause that this foundation was formed to continue the efforts of supporting deserving students.
