Celebrating Hampton's future leaders

The Hampton Education Foundation is proud to recognize outstanding graduating seniors through a portfolio of scholarships that honor achievement, resilience, and service. This year’s scholarship recipients were selected for four distinct awards. 

 

The Marshall Scholarship, presented by Phoebus High School alum Chris Williamson, supports future educators who aspire to make a difference in the classroom.

The Michael Canty Scholarship recognizes students who have overcome significant challenges and demonstrated remarkable perseverance.

 

New this year, the Barbara Williamson Benson Vocational Scholarships, established by the Benson family in memory of Barbara Benson, celebrate students pursuing career and technical education pathways.

 

Additionally, the Hampton Education Foundation Scholarships are awarded to one graduating senior from each Hampton City Schools high school.

Together, these scholarships reflect the Foundation’s commitment to honoring the legacies of influential community members while investing in the next generation of educators, skilled professionals, and leaders. By supporting students with diverse aspirations, the Hampton Education Foundation helps ensure that Hampton graduates have the opportunity to pursue their dreams and make a lasting impact on their communities.

The Hampton Education Foundation directly supports Hampton City Schools, impacting the lives of more than 21,000 students and educators through annual and endowment support ensuring a transformative future for our community. Please go to the HEF site for more information about the Foundation.
