Join the HCC Family | Hagerstown Community College Foundation
“To all the donors who support HCC Foundation scholarships, thank you. Your generosity is building a brighter future for my family—and for countless others like me, striving to make a difference in our community.” – Kara, HCC Foundation Scholarship Recipient
Hagerstown Community College is a family to everyone in our region. Whether you are an alum, a local business owner, a family member of a student, or a partner of the college, you are considered family to us. We need your help to support HCC students and their families through critical scholarship funding. Investing in HCC Foundation scholarships can transform students’ futures - for every $1 spent on education at HCC, students can expect $2.90 in higher future earnings, a nearly 3 to 1 return on investment.
The HCC Foundation has over 300 endowed scholarships with diverse criteria, currently serving nearly 600 students throughout the region with over $800,000 in awards each year. Your gift towards scholarships during this year’s annual fund will help us support even more deserving students, as 70% of HCC students are eligible for financial assistance. HCC Foundation scholarships provide opportunities for students to pursue their dream of higher education and lead fulfilling lives through meaningful employment as contributing members of our community.
Make your tax-deductible donation by December 31, 2024 to impact students as soon as the 2025 fall semester.
