The Henry Foundation is led by a dedicated team of veterans and passionate educational advocates who share a deep commitment to empowering students through higher education.

Rooted in service, integrity, and a belief in the transformative power of learning, our leadership brings a wealth of experience from military service, academic institutions, and community engagement. Together, we strive to honor our foundation’s mission by providing meaningful opportunities for students to achieve their dreams and build a brighter future for all, with a specific emphasis to those who have served in the military.
