Supporting Education, Changing Lives

At Hawkeye Community College, we believe every student can succeed, and the Hawkeye Foundation is here to help make that possible. Whether it’s a bus pass to get to class, a textbook when money is tight, or a scholarship to ease financial stress, the Foundation provides support so students can focus on their education. Thanks to generous donors, we also fund hands-on learning experiences, help teachers and staff grow, and provide important campus resources.

Every day, we receive thank-you letters from students sharing stories of hope, hard work, and gratitude. Their success is proof that education changes lives—and that every student truly matters.
