Greetings, Harrisburg Promise participants.

We hope you are well.

  • To be considered for the Harrisburg Promise Scholarship, you must have at least a 2.5 cumulative GPA at HACC. Anyone with a GPA less than 2.5 will not receive Harrisburg Promise Scholarship funding. Anyone with a GPA less than 2.0 will not receive any scholarship funding from the HACC Foundation – no matter the name of the scholarship.
  • Effective immediately, you must apply for other financial aid, including government aid and non-HACC-related scholarships. After that aid is applied to your HACC account, the HACC Foundation will pay the balance using the Harrisburg Promise Scholarship funds.
  • If the balance of the Harrisburg Promise Scholarship reaches zero before Aug. 31, 2025, you will not receive funding from the Harrisburg Promise Scholarship, because there will be no funding to give you.

  • This agreement will be in place until Aug. 31, 2025 – whether or not you have graduated from HACC by then. After Aug. 31, 2025, you will not be eligible to receive Harrisburg Promise Scholarship funds.
  • If any step in this process is missed and/or if you miss any HACC Foundation scholarship application-related deadlines, you will NOT receive Harrisburg Promise Scholarship funds, and the decision will not be reversed.
  • We will work with the HACC Student Accounts Department to pay off your spring 2023 balance within five business days. Please check your HACC student account afterward, and the funds should be reflected there.

Message to Harrisburg Promise Participants Who Attend HACC in the Future – May 1, 2023

Greetings, Harrisburg Promise participants.

We hope you are well.

This information above is relevant to Harrisburg Promise participants who currently attend HACC (as of May 1, 2023).

Unfortunately, there should be no expectation that these conditions will apply to future HACC students. When the Harrisburg Promise Scholarship balance reaches zero – whether that occurs in six months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, etc. – no one will receive funding from the Harrisburg Promise Scholarship, because there will be no funding to give.

When the Harrisburg Promise Scholarship balance reaches zero, Harrisburg Promise participants who attend HACC may apply for funding from other HACC Foundation scholarships. However, there will be no guarantee they will receive the funding.

If you decide to apply for admission to HACC, please use this process to apply for HACC Foundation scholarship funding. If you do not apply for HACC Foundation scholarship funding, you will not be considered for scholarship funding and you will not receive scholarship funding.

Thank you and best wishes.
