Each year, in celebration of our history of community service, HCCI presents achieving students with scholarship awards at our “Let Us Break Bread Together”  Annual Awards Gala. 

 

Our scholarship program started in honor of Canon Frederick B. Williams’ long-standing service to the Harlem community, his work with non-profits over the years, and his service on the Rockefeller Foundation board of trustees. As such, the Rockefeller Foundation provided a $50,000 endowment to HCCI which funds a community service scholarship award that is presented each year at our annual gala. 

In addition, H&N Insurance Agency partners with HCCI to offer two (2) College Scholarship Awards in the amount of $1,000 each.   

The College Scholarship Application Deadline is Friday, April 22, 2022. Please note that each recipient must be present at the Gala to qualify for the award.  Should you have any questions, please contact HCCI at (212) 281-4887, ext. 236.
