The Burleson Opportunity Fund is a scholarship program open to all high school graduates who live or attend school in Burleson. The ultimate goal of the Burleson Opportunity Fund is to be able to provide every graduate from the City of Burleson with the opportunity to attend post-secondary education. The Burleson Opportunity Fund was created to change the expectations of students, teachers and parents to include the idea that all Burleson high school graduates will and should have the opportunity to attain some form of higher education. Currently students of the Burleson Opportunity Fund have been guaranteed a 1-year 100% tuition and fees scholarship to attend Hill College @ Burleson. Funding is provided by many contributing partners, organizations, businesses, and individuals who are from Burleson or connected in some way.
