The O R "Bub" Hull Scholarship Foundation concentrates its giving on student scholarship support at public universities in Missouri and the surrounding region. Grants are directed to campus scholarship programs (often named or designated awards) rather than broad operational support, indicating a focus on individual student aid. The foundation makes a small number of sizable awards each year and commonly repeats support to the same institutions.
Concentrated, few mid-to-large grants focused on scholarship funds; repeat funding to the same regional public universities rather than many small or one-off grants.
O R ''bub'' Hull Scholarship Fdn’s grantmaking is centered on scholarship support for students at public universities in Missouri and the surrounding region. The foundation gives restricted-purpose awards to campus aid offices and scholarship programs, which points to a direct role in funding individual student tuition assistance rather than broad institutional operations. Recent awards show repeated support for Northwest Missouri State University, Kansas State University, and the University of Missouri–Columbia, with scholarship grants appearing across multiple years. The pattern is consistent with a funder that works through higher-education institutions to deliver student aid, rather than through open calls or general operating grants. The foundation’s recent activity includes both Missouri and neighboring-state campuses, reflecting a regional scholarship strategy. Grants to universities such as Iowa State University, the University of Oklahoma, University of Dubuque, and Creighton University sit alongside Missouri recipients, while some awards are made to financial aid offices and some directly to university-branded scholarship programs. That mix suggests a practical approach: channeling funds where colleges can administer awards to students. Across the available data, the foundation’s identity is closely tied to postsecondary tuition assistance and named scholarship support.
At Northwest Missouri State University, the foundation gave $53,550 in 2024 and $45,964 in 2025 for scholarship support, showing repeated backing for the same campus program. Kansas State University also received substantial scholarship awards, including $36,555 in 2024 and $26,708 in 2025. The foundation also supports scholarship aid at the University of Missouri–Columbia, with grants of $31,408 in 2024 and $15,396 in 2025. Beyond Missouri, it funded student aid at Iowa State University for $21,015 in 2024 and at the University of Dubuque for $19,957 in 2024. Its higher-education giving extends to other campuses as well, including the University of Oklahoma, University of Central Missouri, and Trinity University, each with scholarship-designated awards. The recurring purpose text across these grants is straightforward: scholarship support.
Typical grant size is modest rather than large-scale: the p25 is $3,500, the median is $5,940, and the p75 is $9,488. The recent grants list shows a long tail above that range, with several awards in the teens and 2024–2025 awards above $45,000 to Northwest Missouri State University. The foundation is not a program-related investor and funds individuals through scholarship channels. Recipients repeat across years, especially Northwest Missouri State University, Kansas State University, the University of Missouri–Columbia, and Pittsburg State University, which indicates ongoing institutional relationships rather than one-off grants.
