This is an application for the Harper College Educational Foundation’s Donor Sponsored Scholarships. These funds were made possible by gifts to donors.

There are over 175 different scholarships with different criteria. We award $700,000 a year to over 500 students.

You will qualify for many scholarships by completing the General Application.

The scholarships listed below are the ones that have extra criteria that is not on the General Application.

If you are awarded a scholarship at any time, you will be notified via email and through a notification which you can view on the Applications page of this Scholarship Application Tool.

Scholarship recipients are invited to a Scholarship Orientation, Valentine’s Day Card Signing Event for Donors, and the Realizing Dreams Scholarship Brunch.

A new cycle of scholarships opens on March 1 of every year. Scholarships for students that have one semester of Harper credit classes close in late April. Scholarships for new students closes July 1.

Keep in mind that scholarship opportunities may be available throughout the academic year. The scholarship application is open all year. However, meeting the above deadlines greatly increases your opportunity for a scholarship.
