HCC helps students through on-campus Eagle Markets (pantries on-campus) and Mobile Food Scholarship Programs (once or twice a month distributions at specific campuses). The Eagle Markets are part of HCC Cares to help HCC students stay on course and finish strong.

For 2024-2025, HCC's Eagle Market/Food Scholarship Program served 13k students and distributed 763k pounds through 18k Market visits (FY 2025 Report Card).

HCC Resources

  • HCC Emergency Help: Whatever the case may be, we have resources to help you not let a financial emergency take your attention away from school. Current students facing financial emergencies during the semester are encouraged to apply for available emergency aid based on need eligibility requirements.
  • HCC Financial Coaches connect you with on-campus and community resources that will help you push through financial emergencies; make refunds last longer, and start making steps toward financial security.
  • HCC Scholarships: In addition to federal and state aid, scholarships are a great way to help with the cost of your education. We encourage you to learn about the different types of scholarships awarded by financial aid, the HCC Foundation, and outside groups.
  • HCC Financial Aid: Financial aid is available to help eligible part-time and full-time students pay for college. It can be a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and Work-Study
