Our country needs Hillsdale College now more than ever, which is why Hillsdale has adopted the strategy of radiating what occurs on its campus as far and wide, and to as many citizens, as possible.

The Four Pillars Campaign is your opportunity to support that rare institution that will do exactly what it says it will do.
Our Goal:
$686.8 Million
by 2024
Scholarships: $260.2M
Hillsdale does not accept even one penny of federal or state financial aid for grants, loans, or scholarships. When students receive a financial aid package from Hillsdale—and 96 percent of them do—it's the result of gifts from thousands of generous donors like you. Your scholarship gift lives on in the way our graduates raise their children, lead in the workplace, and exemplify principled citizenship on a daily basis.
Examples
Undergraduate Scholarship Endowment:
$201.2 Million
Master’s in Classical Education Scholarships:
$15.5 Million
General Operations: $201.7M
Year over year, we balance our budget, living within our means. But to reach out aggressively and with integrity, Hillsdale must have the fiscal flexibility made possible by generous gifts for immediate needs.

Program Endowments: $121.6M
