The Hillenbrandt Scholarship Fund, named for Charles and Caroline Hillenbrandt, was established with an allocation of $10,000 from the Hillenbrant Estate. Its purpose is to award merit scholarships ($250.00) to members of Good Shepherd enrolled in post-secondary education programs through a yearly application process.

Contributions from the congregational members over the years have prevented this fund from being depleted. The Hillenbrandt Scholarship Fund welcomes donations from any member or friend of the congregation, their estate, or other sources at any time.
