Building a Stronger Future by Investing in Education

Why We Award Scholarships

Post-secondary education is an opportunity that is not always available to low-income individuals who live in assisted housing due to financial constraints.

We provide scholarships to eligible residents who are living in HACA’s public housing communities and participants of its Housing Choice Voucher program. This support enables these individuals – most of whom are the first in their family to attend college – build the knowledge and skills need to be economically successful and independent of public assistance.

Over the past 17 years, more than 400 renewable scholarships have been awarded for a total of over $1 million invested.

• Post-secondary opportunities for
  newly graduated high school students

• Continuing financial support for
  existing college students

• Skills and knowledge upgrade for
  adults attending college for the first time

An updated list of scholarship applications and deadlines can be found on the HACA website.
