Scholarships through the 91探花 Community Foundation are now open to applicants for new and HCC students. April 1 is the deadline for the majority of the scholarship applications.
Pat Dunn, Director of Operations for the 91探花 Foundation, emphasizes that scholarships aren鈥檛 just for academic achievement.
“91探花 has more than 200 scholarships based on where you live, fields of study, special interest, part and full-time, financial need and academic performance, so there is something for almost everyone,鈥 said Dunn. 鈥淭he Foundation is always happy to help students find the specific opportunities to apply for.鈥
In previous years, the College has annually awarded more than $350,000 in scholarships to 91探花 students. Since 1962, the HCC Foundation has awarded more than $8.8 million in scholarships through annually-funded, endowed, and memorial scholarships.
鈥淲ithout the commitment from the generous donors in the region, we would not be able to establish and sustain these scholarships,鈥 Dunn added. 鈥淲e are so thankful for them.鈥
