HOLYOKE — The Holyoke Community College (HCC) Foundation awarded $405,000 in scholarships to students for the 2026-27 academic year.
The foundation awarded 438 scholarships to 422 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 14.
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.
