Register to Vote On Campus February 6-9

Voter registration for the March 20 Illinois Primary Election is underway at Heartland Community College!

Heartland will conduct a voter information and registration drive February 6-9 on its Normal campus, giving students and employees the opportunity to get registered to vote prior to the Illinois Primary Elections on Tuesday, March 20. Voter information sheets will be dispersed on campus that will assist in identifying the elections and the candidates that will appear on local ballots.  Registrars will be located in the HCC Cafe and at the entrance to the Instructional Commons Building.

All you need to register is about five minutes of time and two forms of identification -- one of which must show your current residential address. Forms of official identification include: driver’s license, Social Security card, Public Assistance card, utility bill, class schedule, birth certificate, credit card, employee or student ID, or lease agreement.

We look forward to helping you register to vote!

HCC Scholarship Applicants Needed for 2012-13

Heartland Community College's Foundation Office is seeking scholarship applicants for students who plan to enroll or are already enrolled at the College for the 2012-13 academic year.

Current and prospective students can review scholarship information -- including scholarship descriptions and criteria -- at the Foundation's Web site, www.hccfoundation.org , by clicking on "Scholarships." Scholarship applications can be submitted online through a current student's myHeartland account. Prospective students must first complete the HCC Application for Enrollment to the College and return it to Student Services before being granted access to the online scholarship application. All applications are due March 1, 2012.

Scholarships are awarded based on a wide range of criteria, with specific scholarships focusing on academic excellence, community service, specific majors and county residency. Financial need is not always a determining factor in earning scholarship awards.

The Heartland Community College Foundation awarded one scholarship for every four completed applications for the 2010-11 academic year. The application process is simple and the Foundation staff is available to assist interested applicants by answering any questions.

Community Scholar Applications Due April 1

Scholarship applications are currently available for Heartland Community College’s 2012-14 Community Scholars Program. Selected students from area high schools can receive a two-year tuition waiver to attend Heartland beginning in the fall 2012 semester. Applications are due April 1, 2012.

The Community Scholars Program provides scholarship opportunities for recent high school graduates residing in Heartland's district. Scholarship recipients are matched with a not-for-profit organization and perform 70 hours of community service each semester for three semesters. Some of these service organizations include Habitat for Humanity, Heartland Head Start, Children’s Discovery Museum, Humane Society of Central Illinois, Bloomington Public Library, Advocate BroMenn Medical Center, and various after-school programs. The volunteer experience is meant to teach the benefits of social responsibility through academic and personal experiences.

Application materials are available from guidance counselors at high schools throughout the Heartland district and online at www.heartland.edu/communityScholars . For more information, contact Pamela Sweetwood, director of Special Programs, at (309) 268-8168, or email pamela.sweetwood@heartland.edu.
