HCC Foundation
HCC Foundation
Since 1968, the HCC Foundation has worked to remove financial barriers to education and expand opportunity for students across our region. We fuel the college's mission to be a comprehensive, open-door institution dedicated to student success and community growth.
Each year, the Foundation awards over $1 million in scholarships to more than 750 students — empowering them to start or return to college, gain new skills, and build brighter futures. With over $28.8 million in assets, every gift makes a lasting impact for generations to come.
As a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, the Foundation is guided by a 32-member board of directors and supported by generous donors who believe in the power of education. Together, we’re helping students stay close, go far, and achieve their dreams. (Meet our Board of Directors)
