Grant extends college-prep program at HCCHolyoke Community College has
been awarded a $450,000 state grant to extend its free college preparation pro-gram, Transition to College and Careers, for three more years.
The grant from the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education allocates $150,000 a year for the next three fiscal years, through fiscal 2023, with the college providing an additional 30 percent match.
Transition to College and Careers, also known as TCC, is a free, adult edu-cation program that helps students 18 or older prepare for college and identify a career path. Coursework includes inten-sive academic preparation in reading and writing, math, study strategies, and com-puters.
The program is designed for all adults, including students with high school equivalency certificates, those who have completed English as a Second or Other Language or other adult literacy programs, and those who have been out of school for a long time and want to return.
“TCC is really a bridge for them so they feel like they understand what col-lege is about and gain confidence in their abilities to manage the academic work-load,” said TCC director Marie Troppe.
There is no cost to students for the classes or course materials.
“The grant and the college cover everything,” Troppe said.
HCC runs daytime and evening
TCC groups during fall, spring and sum-mer terms. All classes meet on the main HCC campus at 303 Homestead Ave., Holyoke.
The program serves 60 to 75 stu-dents a year.
The grant funds TCC instruction for about 30 of those students a year — 15 each fall and spring — with priority given to students who come from other
DESE-funded adult education programs, such as the Literacy Project, the Care Center, the Center for New Americans, the Community Education Center, the Valley Opportunity Council or one of HCC’s many other community partners.
As an additional incentive, the DESE grant also pays for 12 college credits for students who go on to enroll at HCC or another college.
“That’s a tremendous savings and an incredible incentive,” said Troppe. “Twelve credits is essentially four free college classes for students who com-plete the TCC program.”
The next series of TCC classes at HCC will begin in September.
