Scholarship Awards
HCC Foundation awards 410 scholarships for 2025-2026
The Holyoke Community College Foundation has awarded more than $364,000 in scholarships to students for the 2025-2026 academic year.
This year, the HCC Foundation awarded 410 scholarships to 379 incoming, current, and transferring HCC students. Some students received multiple scholarship awards. Individual awards range from $500 to $5,000.
HCC celebrated this year’s recipients and donors at a scholarship reception on May 15.
The HCC Foundation is a 501(c)(3) that works to advance the college’s mission, vision, and values. Founded in 1968 as the Friends of Holyoke Community College, in response to a devastating fire that forced the college to rebuild on a new campus, the Foundation now manages assets of more than $20 million, the largest community college foundation endowment in Massachusetts.
An alphabetical list of all scholarship recipients and their awards can also be viewed on the HCC Scholarship page: Scholarship Awards 2025
