Faye A. Hilgart Mathematics and Math Education Fund

Our mother, Faye Hilgart loved and excelled in mathematics, and began her career in the 60s, at a time when fewer Math and Science career opportunities were available to women and girls. During her life she contributed to changing that, through teaching and mentoring the next generation of students as a Middle School Math educator. To this day, our family receives messages from former students who let us know that it was Mrs. Hilgart who inspired them to pursue their career in the mathematics and/or education field. Our hope is that this small scholarship fund will continue that legacy of helping girls and women to pursue their passion for mathematics and mathematics education. Erin and Brent Hilgart
