HCC offers free tuition for Haywood grads

Haywood Community College Foundation’s Tuition Free Guarantee Scholarship is sometimes the deciding factor for Haywood County seniors when deciding where to go to college. 

It is not too late to take advantage of HCC Foundation’s Tuition Free Guarantee. Available to 2021 Haywood County high school graduates from public, private or homeschools, this scholarship will pay for up to four semesters at the in-state tuition rate and select fees for any 2021 qualifying high school graduate who does not obtain the full amount needed through federal financial aid and/or scholarships. 

The Tuition Free Guarantee scholarship is applicable for fall and spring semesters for up to two years for students continuing to meet the scholarship criteria. This scholarship covers tuition for in-state HCC students. Students may apply for and receive additional financial aid or scholarships through other funding methods that could help cover fees such as those required for various programs and courses or books and materials.

Complete the financial aid form at fafsa.gov and complete the HCC scholarship application at haywood.academicworks.com. For more information about this scholarship, email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or call 828.565.4120.
