Harper College Educational Foundation

Harper College offered its first classes over 50 years ago to fulfill a promise-  a promise to increase access to quality, affordable education that improves lives and helps build a vibrant community for residents and businesses of Chicago’s northwest suburbs.

The generosity of participation of the College’s alumni, donors and partners have helped Harper keep this promise in increasingly innovative and enriching ways.
