Harper College Educational Foundation

During these uncertain times we are seeing many Harper College students needing food, rent, technology resources, or even assistance with their payments for their next tuition bill. We do not know what the long-term impact of this national emergency is going to be. Yet we do know this situation will create hardship for many Harper College students. Over 73% of Harper students work while attending classes. Many of these students will be affected by reduced working hours, or job loss. Losing weeks or even months of income could be enough to permanently derail our hardworking students’ goals. 

If you would like to offer financial support to help Harper students in need, please consider making a donation to the Harper Student Emergency Relief Fund or the General Scholarship Fund. 

The Harper Student Emergency Relief Fund will award up to $500 to currently enrolled Harper students to handle needs such as: 

  *Groceries and household items 
  *Rent/Mortgage 
  *Medical Expenses
  *Gas
  *Technology needs for online learning or Wi-Fi access 
  *Making a payment for their current tuition bill 

Scholarship funds will help to keep our students on track with their educational goals. 

The Harper College Educational Foundation Board of Directors has demonstrated their commitment to Harper students by providing a $20,000 challenge grant. Every dollar raised (up to $20,000) will be matched, dollar for dollar, by our Foundation Board of Directors. We ask all members of the Harper community to join them in helping Harper students in their time of need.
