YORK – HACC-York Campus students Lydia Aviles of York and Bryell St Clair of Thomasville are among six HACC students who are attending Bucknell University this summer with scholarships provided through Bucknell University.

They join fellow scholarship recipients Jordan Finkenbinder of Shermans Dale, Alexander Head of Hummelstown and Jacqueline Rivera of Harrisburg from the Harrisburg Campus and Carla Fotopolous of York Springs from the Gettysburg Campus.

Aviles is studying business management and St Clair is majoring in social sciences.

The transfer initiative is available for high-achieving, academically prepared community college students with low to moderate incomes.

Bucknell scholars first attend an all-expenses paid summer orientation, then return to HACC to complete an associate degree. They can apply to transfer to Bucknell to earn a bachelor’s degree.

If accepted, Bucknell provides $42,000 to $52,000 in a financial aid package to each student a year depending on financial needs.
