Holyoke Community College Scholarships
2007-2008

Over $110,000 awarded to Deserving Students

Over the seven years the HCC Foundation has been hosting a scholarship reception, we have watched the connection that takes place when a donor meets a recipient. It is truly heartwarming. A grateful student and a donor who knows their gift has truly transformed a life. We watched dozens of those transformative moments take place this May as we held our 7th annual scholarship reception at the Kittredge Center’s PeoplesBank Conference Room.

Our scholarship pool grew with the addition of the David and Bette Bartley scholarship and the Jan Alicia Nettler scholarship. We were fortunate enough to have HCC graduate and Mount Holyoke College bound Sarah Vazquez speak about how important it was to her to receive an HCC Foundation scholarship while Bill Bagshaw and Frank Fitzgerald took the microphone to explain why they continue to raise funds for scholarships. They have already endowed three scholarships at HCC and are on their way to a fourth. This year they endowed a scholarship in memory of David Killeen a well-known Springfield businessman whose family was able to join us for the reception. With their generosity we surpassed $110,000 in scholarship funds awarded for over 100 scholarships. Despite those numbers we turned away more deserving students this year than ever before. If you are interested in beginning a scholarship fund, please contact Diana Stiles, Director of Development at (413) 552-2746.
