The Park Cities Historic and Preservation Society recently donated $50,000 to the Highland Park Education Foundation to complete an endowment it began last year. The endowment will be used to fund annual scholarships for HPISD students.

PCHPS raised the money for the endowment through its annual Historic Home Tour each spring and a Distinguished Speaker luncheon series that began in 2012.

The scholarship will be awarded to a graduating senior at Highland Park High School who plans to study architecture, history, or another field related to historical preservation in line with the mission of PCHPS.
