Bunker Hill Community College

Bunker Hill Community College serves community college students and graduates through academic pathways that lead to associate degrees, professional certifications, and transfer into bachelor’s programs. The institution’s scholarship activity shows a college organized around supporting students at multiple stages of study: current students working toward associate-level credentials, continuing students in career-focused fields, and graduates preparing to move on to four-year colleges and universities. Its scholarship portfolio reaches students in education, business administration, and the humanities, indicating a broad academic scope rather than a single narrow specialty. The college’s named scholarship programs illustrate that structure clearly. The Irving and Anne R. Umansky Scholarship supports Bunker Hill Community College graduates who intend to transfer to a four-year institution and pursue humanities fields such as liberal arts and humanities, art, language and foreign languages, literature, music, philosophy, history, and journalism. For the 2026 cycle, that scholarship opens on 2/1/2026, closes on 4/4/2026, and offers up to $1,000. Eligibility requirements include graduation from Bunker Hill Community College, a minimum 3.50 GPA, U.S. residency, transfer plans toward a bachelor’s degree, humanities study, and Alpha Kappa Mu membership. Other named opportunities reinforce the college’s support for distinct student populations. The Stephanie Hollis Graef Memorial Scholarship is directed to Bunker Hill Community College students pursuing education and seeking an associate degree, with financial need included in eligibility. The José A. Chaves Memorial Scholarship is aimed at continuing students studying business administration who are seeking either a professional certification or an associate degree and who meet a 3.00 GPA threshold. Taken together, these programs show Bunker Hill Community College investing in academic achievement, transfer advancement, field-specific study, and student progression across community-college and bachelor’s-degree pathways in the United States.
