Hopkinsville Community College is offering a new scholarship opportunity—the English Lacy Scholarship Endowment Fund.
This scholarship will be for supporting accounting and business students enrolled at HCC, and it will be awarded annually, beginning the fall 2025 semester. It will provide financial assistance for books, tuitions and other supplies.
To be eligible for the scholarships, applicants must be pursuing a credential in the program area of business administration, with priority given to students in an accounting track, and they must reside in Christian, Todd, Trigg or Caldwell counties. Applicants can be taking classes full or part-time, and can be a new or returning student.
The English Lacy Scholarship Endowment was established with an initial gift of $60,000 from the founder and partners of Calhoun & Company, PLLC and the Randy and Judy Arnold Foundation in honor of longtime Hopkinsville accountant, English Lacy, CPA.
Lacy is a Hopkinsville native who graduated from Hopkinsville High School in 1970, then from Western Kentucky University in 1974 with a bachelor’s degree in accounting. He founded the firm English Lacy & Company and practiced in that capacity alongside Sandra Boyd, CPA for roughly 50 years until his recent retirement.
