The Bone Hill Foundation

The Bone Hill Foundation was established in 1967 by Will Bridges with the goal of helping those in need. In 1991, the board linked to the Foundation was reorganized and the focus was placed on scholarships for students to attend traditional or vocational colleges. A major part of Bone Hill assets, and what generates funds for distribution, is timber resources. A management plan has been developed that includes timber, wildlife and the entire property proving a balanced plan for natural resources.

The Bone Hill Foundation currently awards scholarships to each high school in Shelby County as well as scholarship funds to Angelina College, Panola College, the Univ. of Texas system schools, Texas A & M Univ, Sam Houston State University and SFASU. Shelby County graduates are the priority recipients of Bone Hill awards.
