| Summary |
Milton Hershey was the founder of the Hershey Chocolate Company. In 1909 Hershey and his wife, Catherine, founded a school to educate poor male orphans, created a charitable trust to support the school, and appointed nine trustees to manage the trust for the school's benefit. In 1918, after his wife's death, Hershey gave his entire personal fortune, consisting mostly of stock in the company, to the Hershey Trust to support the Milton S. Hershey School. The school today enrolls a diverse student body of about 1,200 low-income young men and women on a residential campus in central Pennsylvania. The students do not pay tuition or other fees, since the trust receives $80 million from its interest in the chocolate company each year |
