HWSC in Utica
Hillside Work-Scholarship Connection helps Utica students stay in school, earn their high school diplomas and prepare for higher education or employment.
We’re excited to partner with Utica schools! HWSC launched in Utica in fall 2023, and our program aims to support up to 350 area students in the 2023-2024 academic year from the following school sites:
- Proctor High School
- Donovan Middle School
- John F. Kennedy Middle School

A Model that Works
Year over year, HWSC’s model brings positive outcomes for participating students, their families, and their community. Across all regions in 2023, 92% of students who stayed with the program throughout high school received their diplomas. And that number jumped to 100% for students who held part-time jobs with a Hillside Employment Partner. (These and other insights are included in our latest HWSC Outcomes Report).
