Scholarships are critical to allow students in financial need and academically outstanding students to begin their college careers or enhance skills for tomorrow's jobs.  Without aid, many students would be unable to afford to pursue their education.  With requests for aid increasing along with enrollment, the need for increased giving is crucial. 

The HCCEF is committed to raising funds for the scholarships, endowments and programs that will assist HCC students in the pursuit of their educational goals.
