Christopher "Chris" Hogan Scholarship Fund

Chris Hogan has impacted the lives of thousands of students throughout his entire career, both as the Director of the Upward Bound program in Lynn, MA and in his various leadership role, including those held during his tenure at UMass Boston.

In his honor, Upward Bound Alumni are establishing an annual Scholarship Fund at North Shore Community College Upward Bound program! The Christopher "Chris" Hogan Scholarship Fund will be awarded each year to a Senior who embodies the self-less investment in others and commitment to service that has been the hallmark of Chris' life and career.

The goal is to provide a current Upward Bound high school senior with a $2,000 scholarship to help defray the cost of a college tuition or support housing and other costs related to pursuing a post-secondary degree. With the help of the North Shore Upward Bound Program, a well-deserving student will be selected beginning in the 2023-2024 academic year and thereafter.

Our funding raising goal is to raise $4,000 to ensure we have raised sufficient funds to award the first two scholarships in 2024 and 2025. Donations of all amounts are welcome!

The Chris Hogan Scholarship Fund Committee has already raised $700 towards the goal of $4,000. Every dollar raised will go directly to the fund, as there is zero administrative fee as the committee is comprised of former UB students, volunteering to help make this happen.

Thank you for your donation!

With love and respect,

Cecilia, Nataly, Vicky, Rossanna, April and D’Annette (The Planning Committee)
