The estate of Merlin and Lois Kain has entrusted HCCF with more than $941,000 to create a permanent scholarship for Owendale-Gagetown and Bad Axe graduates. Learn about the Brookfield Township couple behind the gift and how a legacy can reflect whatever matters most to you.

HCCF awarded over $140,000 in scholarships at its 2026 reception, celebrating local students while investing in the future of Huron County through education, talent retention, and community connections.

One scholarship application helps students apply to all scholarships managed by HCCF. The application is now available and must be submitted prior to the February 28, 2026 deadline.

We're thrilled to announce the recipients of our scholarships! In 2023, we proudly awarded over $122,000 in scholarships to deserving local students who are pursuing further education.
