FUND PROFILE

Taylor & Don Hall Scholarship Fund

The Taylor & Don Hall Scholarship Fund is dedicated to fostering the academic pursuits of high-achieving local high school students with a strong interest in Integrated Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (iSTEM).

Overview

About the Fund

The Halls have been long-term supporters of Pasadena Community Foundation, and Don currently serves on PCF’s Investment Committee. “We wanted to further a student’s education in the field of iSTEM, which encompasses the expertise needed to solve some of the world’s most pressing problems, such as Alzheimer’s disease and climate change,” says Don.

“Thanks to its impressive roster of scholarship programs, we knew PCF held the experience and expertise to implement our scholarship plan. They were flexible and patient as our idea took shape and a total pleasure to work with. STEM students can change the world, and this scholarship can be a small part of that, a way to encourage their journeys.”
