Giving to Harford

The Harford Community College Foundation exists to support the College mission and vision. With a focus on developing educational opportunities to ensure student success, the Foundation provides the resources needed to remove financial barriers that students may face that could prohibit them from pursuing their education.

 

Your support impacts students. Period. Whether it is directly through scholarships, or indirectly through equipment and facilities, the money to donate makes a difference. In the past year the foundation awarded more than $28,000 to students  through the Student Emergency Assistance (SEA) fund. These funds allowed students to continue their studies through the COVID-19 pandemic and still be able to put food on the table, go to work, and provide care for others. YOU made that difference.

The Harford Owl Fund gives the Harford Community College Foundation the means to empower our students to grow, achieve, inspire and contribute. Often we find students who check all of the boxes for admissions, advising and enrollment, but still have one more hurdle to jump before being able to begin their academic journey. That hurdle is a financial one. Your gift to The Harford Owl Fund allows us to remove that obstacle and get these students on a secure pathway to make a positive impact in the world.

Established by former president Dr. Dennis Golladay, in partnership with the Harford Community College Foundation, this fund provides emergency financial assistance to currently enrolled Harford Community College students who are facing a short-term financial emergency. The goal? To help Harford students remain in school through difficult situations.

Funds are awarded from donations made to the SEA Fund through the Harford Community College Foundation and are made based on fund availability with the maximum award being $500 per student per academic year.
