Supporting higher education for Santa Ana High School students
Providing college scholarships for SAHS students since 2009
The Heid Scholarship Foundation seeks to provide opportunities for ambitious and integrity-driven students from Santa Ana High School to attend the college of their dreams. The recipient of a full Heid Foundation Scholarship receives financial assistance as needed for tuition, as well as room and board and books, after other scholarships and financial aid, to the college of their choosing. The Foundation also awards set amount scholarships to students annually to assist additional awardees in their pursuit of higher education.
The Heid Family
John, Bette, Judy, Dennis and Joan Heid were Santa Ana residents, with all three of the Heid children attending Santa Ana High School. John, an Anesthesiologist, and Bette, a homemaker, were exceptionally committed to ensuring their children received the best education possible. Judy and Joan both attended University of Southern California, while Dennis unfortunately passed away from lymphoma before he could attend college. By instilling these values, John and Bette are responsible for inspiring multiple generations of their family to pursue the best education possible, and perpetuate the financial support of higher education throughout the Santa Ana community.
Broad Spectrum Support for Students
The Foundation intends to address all challenges faced by our scholarship students by offering broad spectrum support. Students receive financial support for tuition, room and board, books, supplies, and tutoring. Our team supports each student academically and emotionally throughout their experience at college with bi-annual meetings with each student, and unlimited access via email and phone. Together, we race towards a goal of 100% graduation rate and fulfilling careers for all our scholars.
More than Four Years
Our program aims to create reach beyond the four years at University. The connections made between the Foundation and our scholars are a life-long tie, and we do everything in our power to assist all scholars, current or alumni, in their aspirations.
“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”
