The John J. "SKI" Sygielski and Steve Perrault Scholarship Endowment provides financial assistance to students enrolled at HACC. The scholarship aims to support students with unmet financial needs and to make an impact within the College's service regions with the lowest education attainment rates and highest unemployment rates. This support provides resources for residents to achieve economic mobility.

By supporting our students, you can contribute to creating a better future for Central Pennsylvania.

HACC’s longest-serving president, Dr. Ski, expresses his passion for preparing students and supporting HACC after his retirement:

“HACC's students inspire me to give to the college and them, because I see, first hand, how the College

changes lives, destinies and family trees.”

“I know that my gift changes lives, destinies and family trees as evidenced by so many of our alumni who will tell me that if it were not for emergency assistance funds or scholarships, they would not achieve their goals of becoming a nurse, teacher, medical doctor or welder, for example.”

“Others should give to HACC because the work being done by the College is not only changing lives,

destinies and family trees, it is ensuring Central Pennsylvania's economy remains vibrant and competitive

by awarding industry-based certificates, diplomas and/or degrees.”
