How to Establish a Named Scholarship

With a gift of $10,000 or more (effective September 1, 2017), donors may fund a named scholarship to establish a legacy or honor another's memory or achievements. Donors may designate a set of specific criteria for the scholarship if they choose to do so.  To speak with someone regarding starting a scholarship fund, please call 713-718-8595 or email foundation@hccsfoundation.org.

Endowed Gifts

Endowments allow donors to make stable philanthropic investments with significant yearly returns that can guarantee support for the college and students into the future. With a gift of $25,000 or more, an endowment can be established to fund many types of programs and activities, including scholarships, distinguished chairs, and professorships.

Scholarships

By funding endowed scholarships, donors help ensure that future students are able to pursue a higher education regardless of their financial situation. HCC also gratefully accepts non-endowed scholarship gifts, which provide one-time, immediate financial assistance for HCC students.
