Student Scholars
Student Scholars is a program designed to help students from middle to high school reach their full potential through a mentorship with local leaders in our community, Daviess County, Indiana. Students in rural areas often don't have access to the kind of guidance and support that can help them succeed in school. Mentors can provide a listening ear, offer advice, and help students stay motivated. The Student Scholars Program matches students with local mentors from our community, including retired police officers, social workers, business owners, and educators. These mentors will provide one-on-one guidance and support, helping their student navigate through challenges of middle or high school. Mentors will help students explore different college and career options, and develop the skills they need to be successful. These students are our future leaders, and we need to give them the tools they need to succeed.

Testimonies
"You have been such a blessing to my family especially since everything has happened. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and my husband ... he wanted me to tell you thank you and God bless you."
-Gabriella’s mother
"This is a great program for low-income families. It's important that the children are not held accountable for their parent’s past or current situations. This program is allowing these children to get away from home life and school and try to thrive in something that the parents can't financially provide for them. As a teen we didn't have money for me to do sports, and I am a recovering drug addict. The children shouldn't be punished or held back because of financial reason.”
— Lilly’s mother
"Before joining ... I really hoped to get more involved in extracurricular activities like gymnastics. I didn’t think it would be possible due to the cost."
— Lilly, Student Scholar
"The program has helped me focus more on school and my goals because I know if I need anything I can just ask, and I will get the help I need."
— Mariely, Student Scholar

growing curiosity
It all begins with having resources available. Every child has different needs, and HHI will work alongside the student to make sure those resources are available. An HHI mentorship can provide a way for the student to have extra support in academics, extracurricular activities, and social relationships throughout their years in middle and high-school.
