HCC Houston Reconnect Scholarship

For students walking in a hall way

HCC Wants You Back!

An initiative to give adults a second chance to complete a certificate or degree:

If you are 25 years or age or older and finished college short of completing a workforce certificate or associate degree, here’s your opportunity to finish what you began.

The Houston Reconnect Initiative is a scholarship designed to support students financially who are close to completion. After all, with a college certificate or degree you can earn more, get the promotion you have been wanting, step into higher levels of responsibility and more. And HCC can help get you there.
