Affiliated Scholarships and Awards Coordinated Through BHCC

Bunker Hill Community College works with various organizations in the community to provide additional scholarship opportunities for students. These scholarship applications often require the student to apply through the specific organization. Review individual scholarship eligibility and application guidelines and procedures for more information.

The UMass Community College Advantage Scholarship (CCAS) is designed to incentivize highly talented community college students to finish their associate degree at one of the Commonwealth’s 15 community colleges, and then complete their bachelor’s degree at one of the four University of Massachusetts campuses. The CCAS would retain diverse talent in Massachusetts, ultimately applying their talents to the state’s workforce, while offering community college students the opportunity to complete their bachelor’s degree with guaranteed financial support.

The community colleges and University of Massachusetts collectively propose to begin offering the CCAS scholarship in Fall 2024.

CCAS Award

  • Guarantees students in the top 10% of their community college graduating class automatic admission to the University of Massachusetts and a minimum $2,500 per semester ($5,000 annually) for a total of at least $10,000 for the students’ final two years of college, awarded at the University’s discretion.
  • Students remain eligible for additional aid based on individual circumstances.
  • The CCAS is designed to supplement federal and private grants awarded to the student.

Fall 2024 Eligibility

To be eligible for the CCAS, students must:

  • Complete their degree in the top 10% of their graduating class at their college, which will be calculated as of the end of the semester prior to the UMass financial aid priority deadline (Students applying for Fall admission must have been in the top 10% of their class as of the end of the Fall 2023 semester).
  • Complete the 24-25 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or equivalent state financial aid application.
  • Be eligible for in-state tuition.
  • Have earned 45+ credits that are transferable to UMass
  • Be on track to complete their associate degree prior to the Fall 2024 semester.

Cost

An expected 900 community college graduates would be eligible for the scholarship in its first year.

The maximum cost of the CCAS in its first year – if all top 10% community college students enrolled at UMass – would be $4.5 million. The cost for the second year is estimated to be $9 million.

Currently, approximately 25% of community college graduates in Massachusetts transfer to UMass.

Eligibility Criteria:

  • Graduated from a Boston public high school or a Boston charter high school, or received a GED after attending one of these schools; or graduated from the Metco program while residing in Boston
  • Applied to the scholarship within fifteen years of high school graduation or earning a GED

Amount: up to $5000

The BHCC Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) program has been designed to serve student parents with financial need by using a three-level, sliding-fee scale assistance program. Priority will be given to Pell-eligible single parents taking at least six credits and having a low Expected Family Contribution (EFC as per FAFSA). Childcare funds will be allocated on a semester basis, with each student paying the prescribed percent of costs.
