A "State Assisted" Institution
While the state of Kentucky can provide funding for the basic operations, the types of academic
opportunities and enhancements that make Hopkinsville Community College truly exceptional must come from private resources.
Privatesector funds provide the margin of excellence in meeting HCC's mandated mission to enhance the quality of life and
employability of our community's citizens.
"Considering credit courses only 44% of all undergraduates and 46% of
all firsttime freshmen attend twoyear, public colleges, but twoyear, public
colleges receive less than 1% of the private contributions to higher education."
