Awards are offered on a limited basis to students meeting specific criteria. The awards are based on the criteria provided by donors.

Process:

  • To ensure awarding will be possible, designees should contact HACCscholarships@hacc.edu to inquire about funding. The designee should make the contact at least 60 days before the funds will be needed and provide the amount of funding required.
