Continuing Education Scholarship

CES Philosophy & Overview

The Continuing Education Scholarship (CES) has been established to provide scholarship assistance to eligible Milton Hershey School graduates working full-time towards completing an accredited undergraduate program of at least nine months in length and leading to a diploma, certificate or degree. The CES is essentially a partnership between Milton Hershey School and our graduates to help fund higher education pursuits for recent graduates who continue to demonstrate the desire and ability to succeed in their full-time post-secondary school studies.

Like all initiatives at the School, the CES program is built upon the guiding principles established by Mr. & Mrs. Hershey in the Deed of Trust (1909). Section 21 of the Deed of Trust states,

"All children shall leave the institution and cease to be the recipients of its benefits upon their completion of the full course of secondary education being offered at the School. The Managers may in their discretion provide for such a system of premiums and rewards dependent upon good behavior, character, and proficiency."

The CES program is an example of one of the systems of premiums and rewards that Mr. & Mrs. Hershey describe. Our hope is that all of our young graduates earn the ability to participate in, and to continue to receive, CES funding for their undergraduate higher education pursuits!
