Hearst Foundation Scholarship

The Hearst Foundation and the William Randolph Hearst Foundation were founded in the 1940’s by publisher and philanthropist William Randolph Hearst. The two foundations reflect the philanthropic interests of Mr. Hearst: human services, education, health, and culture. Specific priorities include “programs to aid poverty-level and minority groups…and education programs with emphasis on private secondary and higher education.”
