The Summer College Credit Program is a great way to explore careers, earn college credit and high school credit, and save money.
The FREE Summer College Credit Program courses are open to students who will be in grades 9–12 during the 2023–2024 academic year at a high school in Hawkeye’s service area.
An Iowa Department of Education grant will pay the entire cost of the course, including tuition, fees, textbooks, and supplies. There is no cost to either students or school districts!

These are real college courses and the grade you earn will be on your official Hawkeye Community College transcript. The college credit you earn may satisfy program requirements at Hawkeye.
