Harrisburg Promise Scholarship

Harrisburg Promise Scholarship was established in 2016 for residents of Pennsylvania living in one of the following housing developments in Harrisburg: Hall Manor, Hillside Village, Hoverter Homes, MW Smith Homes and William Howard Day Homes. The program supports students from 7th grade through graduation from HACC, with early intervention that will reduce barriers to postsecondary education and inspire college aspirations. The scholarship is specifically for students enrolling at Harrisburg Area Community College. Students must participate in the Harrisburg Promise Program to be eligible. The program is funded by the City of Harrisburg, Harrisburg Area Community College, and Harrisburg Housing Authority.
