Why is the Rotary Scholars Program important to Hopkinsville Community College and to local students?
Studies show that the higher the level of educational attainment a student reaches, the more money they will make over their lifetime. Studies also show that a higher percentage of students enter the workforce in the same community in which they are schooled. Accordingly, the Rotary Scholars Program not only assists students as they begin their college educations, but does so without the worry of the major financial constraints. In addition, because these students will be attending classes at HCC, there is a greater chance that Hopkinsville and Christian County’s workforce will be larger, more qualified, and better compensated.
