HOPE Scholarship Committee and Timeline

Serving on the HOPE Scholarship Committee is a great way to see HOPE’s ongoing work and mission come to fruition! Committee members review applications, help interview applicants, and select scholarship recipients. In 2025, ten scholarships will be awarded to mark the milestone of HOPE's 10 years of supporting students at Harper College. The committee meets three times starting at the end of April and has application review on your own. Please see the approximate timeline below.
