HFA is a local non-profit 501c3 organization founded in 2019 focused on supporting the arts in Hayward Unified. Our new scholarship program is intended to support college bound seniors who are planning to pursue a degree in the arts to fulfill their goals. Please share with all interested HUSD students and families.

This scholarship is made possible through The Hayward Foundation for the Arts Board of Directors. Once again, HFA would like to shout out our 2023 Scholarship Recipients, Matthew Avila and Alessandra Carrera!

Testimonial from a 2023 Scholarship Recipient

I feel very honored to be one of the first winners of the HFA Scholarship. I was very grateful to be recognized for my involvement in the performing arts. Both singing and acting are huge passions of mine and being rewarded for what I love was truly a privilege. I hope this scholarship continues to award and support students who are part of VAPA. – Alessandra Carrera
