Getting Started
Getting started at Haywood Community College is easy and our team is here to help you every step of the way.
Free Tuition & Emergency Funding available to students
Bobcat Resiliency Grant
Available to new and returning students for the Spring 2025 Semester.
The Bobcat Resiliency Grant will provide free tuition and coverage of select fees for all students entering the Spring 2025 semester. These funds are available for new and returning students. The goal is to reduce financial barriers that students may be facing to support their desire to return to the classroom.
As a last-dollar funding source, students must still ensure they have completed the 2024-2025 FAFSA application. This is an exciting opportunity for all students in Haywood County looking to continue or start their educational journey with HCC.
Hurricane Helene Emergency Grant
Available to students that were enrolled with HCC during the Fall 2024 semester.
This grant was designed to provide financial assistance for students that were enrolled with HCC during the Fall 2024 semester. Funding will help students catch up, get ahead, or maybe even breathe a sigh of relief from the support this grant can bring them.
Grant funds are available to curriculum and continuing education students in the following categories: transportation, tuition/fees, textbooks, living expenses, home repairs, and more. Funds are available on a first come, first served basis so we encourage students to apply as soon as possible.
HCC is an open-door institution, which means all qualified applicants will be accepted. We offer high-quality, affordable education with expert faculty and numerous scholarship opportunities. Our two-year associate degree programs, certificates, and diplomas offer the ability for students to take courses in-person or online. If you’re looking to gain new skills for the workforce or would like to take up a hobby, we offer continuing education classes, which are typically non-credit short-term courses. HCC also offers courses for high school and home school students, as well as adults returning to earn their high school equivalency diploma.
