Government & Community Relations
Working with our neighbors and community partners as well as local, state and federal officials to develop partnerships that improve our community.
We’re thankful to call Worcester home. We strive to support and celebrate the diverse and rich cultural, educational, social, and religious makeup of our community.
Neighborhood Support
We invite any of our neighbors whether they live close - College Hill, South Worcester and Quinsigamond Village - or a long drive - greater New England - to reach out and visit.

Indulge Your Curiosity
Our tens of thousands of books are your tens of thousands of books. Holy Cross’ libraries are unique to most collegiate collections in that they are open to the public. Our libraries offer an extensive collection of research materials including books, journals, DVD's, photographs, and walk-in access to electronic resources. Let your mind run wild with the possibilities.

Supporting Worcester
Worcester-Area Scholarships
The Ellis Scholarship is a full tuition scholarship offered to a Worcester resident entering their first year at Holy Cross. It is renewable for all four years. There is no separate application for the Ellis Scholarship, and all applicants to College who reside in Worcester are considered. Finalists will be invited to campus by the scholarship committee for an interview in February.
All Worcester public school students can apply to Holy Cross without an application fee.
For and with Worcester
Worcester makes Holy Cross what it is. The city offers just as many opportunities for our students to learn as any classroom. We lean into a community-based learning teaching approach that connects learning objectives with civic engagement.
