Holyoke – Holyoke Community College will celebrate the nearly 400 students who have been awarded HCC Foundation scholarships for the 2025-2026 academic year with a special reception on Thursday, May 15.
The HCC Foundation’s annual Scholarship Reception will run from 3 to 5 p.m. on the second floor of the HCC Campus Center.
For the 2025-2026 academic year, the HCC Foundation awarded 410 scholarships worth $364,400 to 379 incoming, current, and graduating students. Individual awards range from $500 to $5,000. Some students received more than one scholarship.
The reception for scholarship recipients and their families will feature remarks from Sbriscia and Laura White, HCC assistant director of donor relations. Keynote speeches will be delivered by 2025 scholarship recipient Diana Rodriguez of Chicopee and donor LouAnn Daly, a former Holyoke resident who has endowed two HCC Foundation scholarships.
The nonprofit 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.
