Alfred C. O’Connell Scholarship

This competitive scholarship program is designed for graduating high school seniors from Harford County who plan to enroll full-time at Harford Community College. Selected recipients receive funding to cover the cost of their tuition and regular fees while pursuing an associate degree. The award supports students for up to two consecutive years of study, provided they maintain academic progress. Applicants are evaluated based on their high school academic performance, specifically their cumulative unweighted grade point average calculated through the eleventh grade. Eligible students must submit their official transcripts and complete the standard online application process, which includes a personal essay detailing their academic goals, community service, and financial need.
