Hopkinsville Community College announces Summer, Fall Scholarship Awards

Hopkinsville Community CollegeHopkinsville, KY – Hopkinsville Community College (HCC) has been busy helping students find a way to finance their higher education, according the HCC Advancement Chief Yvette Eastham.

“It was important to Dr. Young, college leadership and the HCC Foundation to encourage students to persist in moving forward toward their goals, despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Eastham.

“Giving students an extra boost of support has provided much needed encouragement during a time that has been challenging for so many,” Eastham shared.

The HCC Foundation received thank you notes from recipients that officials described as some of the most inspirational they had received.

One recipient shared, “I wanted to let you know how thankful I truly am for this scholarship. It means much more than money – it means there are people and organizations that still believe in others. My goal is to show my girls that no matter how old, how late you start or what is going on in the world, it will never be too late to accomplish something.”

HCC President Dr. Alissa Young emphasized the importance of continuing to pursue goals and expressed thanks to donors saying, “The notes we receive from grateful students are because our donors continue to give and provide opportunity to our students. Donor support has never been more important than now, and because of the faithful giving of so many, we continue to be able to award scholarships and provide a pathway to achievement of goals and dreams.”

Over $207,000 in academic scholarships for 2020-2021 has been awarded to 85 students. According to college officials, this does not include the Hopkinsville Rotary Scholars program or two textbook scholarship funds.
