Fifty-four students demonstrating academic performance and community involvement will each receive a scholarship to help fund their higher education goals through Hilmar Cheese Company’s annual scholarship program.
This program, which has existed since 2003, is one of the many ways Hilmar Cheese helps achieve its company purpose to improve lives together.
The scholarship program awarded $40,000 in four categories — children of employees, children of the dairy farm families who ship milk to Hilmar Cheese, part-time Visitor Center staff and students pursing an agricultural undergraduate degree in the communities where the company operates.
Fifteen children of employees of Hilmar Cheese Company Inc., three part-time Hilmar Cheese Visitor Center staff, and eight children of the dairy farm families who ship milk to Hilmar received scholarships. A second additional scholarship was awarded to one part-time visitor center employee, three employee children and one child of a dairy family who ships milk to Hilmar.
“I am pursing a degree in Child Development at CSU Stanislaus,” explained Jordyn Hill part-time visitor center employee. “I feel fortunate to work in the visitor center and the scholarship helps pay for classes.”
The Hilmar Cheese Company scholarship program reflects the company’s ongoing support of higher education and its commitment to employees, dairy farm families, the California, Texas and Kansas agricultural industries and the communities where Hilmar operates.
Qualifying students are encouraged to apply November 1 through February 1, 2026. For more information about Hilmar Cheese Company’s scholarship program, visit the About Us Overview section of www.hilmar.com.
