Brockton, MA – August 29, 2023 – Quincy College was among twenty-nine recipients of the HarborOne Foundation’s bi-annual grant awards benefiting local youth and families.  The Foundation’s donation of $7,500 to Quincy College will support the College’s Early College Pathway Program (ECHS), which provides eligible Quincy Public School students in grades 10 - 12 the opportunity to earn up to 22 college credits from Quincy College while still in high school. ECHS students take college-level courses at no cost, and receive robust academic support during their experience that better positions them to be successful in college and in their future careers.

Since its inception, the HarborOne Foundation has invested over $2.5 million to support and expand the work of community non-profits including organizations that promote educational opportunity, create access to safe and affordable housing and provide basic human services to our most vulnerable citizens.
