Scholarships
Hopkinsville Community College offers a wide variety of scholarship opportunities. We have a little something for everyone. Some scholarships are dedicated to students in specific types of programs (for example a Nursing student would not be able to receive an Electrical Technology scholarship). And some are designed to help students overcome specific challenges unrelated to programs of study.
We understand that a college education is a major investment. At HCC, we are here to help you find the funds you need and earn that degree! We have a one-stop shop scholarship application.
What’s so special about this online scholarship application?
It identifies which scholarships are the best fit for you while you're completing the application! You won't have to worry about determining what you're eligible for; the online scholarship application does it for you.
Keep these instructions and tips handy while starting your new online scholarship application:
