HACC Foundation to Provide Full-Ride Scholarships for Students from Historically Underrepresented Groups

Note: This content was revised on March 19, 2024.

Too many historically underrepresented people have been abused, traumatized or killed by police officers. Too many have had their pain ignored by healthcare providers. Too many people have been trapped in the legal system without advocates in their corner.

What if you could make a difference in these fields?

The PNC Foundation awarded a $112,500 grant to the HACC Foundation that will provide full-ride scholarships for current and future HACC students who enroll in the following HACC programs:

• Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)
• Criminal Justice
• Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)
• Paralegal Studies Associate in Applied Science
• Paralegal Studies Certificate
• Paramedic
• Police Academy  - All applicants will be required to pass an entry physical fitness test to gain admission to the Policy Academy. Please visit this webpage to learn more. 

These full-ride scholarships are for current and future HACC students who belong to historically underrepresented groups. These groups may include but are not limited to:

• Adult learners (ages 25+)
• Black, Indigenous and people of color
• Economically disadvantaged individuals
• Individuals from different religious backgrounds
• Individuals with disabilities
• Members of the LGBTQIA+ community
• New Americans, immigrants or refugees
