The HACSB Scholarship Program awards six scholarships a year: three at $2,000 for a four-year college/university and three at $1,000 for community college/technical school. Since its inception in 2015, a total of 20 scholarships have been awarded.

"We believe that education provides opportunity, access and choices and is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty, "said HACSB CEO Denise Wise. "100 percent of the proceeds benefit the scholarship program.  Most of our previous scholarship recipients were the first in their family to attend college. It is our vision to provide a resource that will allow our youth the chance to maximize their potential and life contribution."
