Why Give

This scholarship provided me the opportunity to stay in school. I am even more inspired to reach my goals. I now know that I will be able to complete my Associate in Arts Degree and transfer to a four-year college because of this encouragement and financial support.

You know what you're supporting.

Your donations go directly to fund the college, its programs, and its students. Our primary focus is to make college affordable for our students, but the Foundation also helps to ensure that technology and faculty/staff training needs are met.

Your support closes a financial gap.

State allocations do not cover all the needs of the college's programs and services. Your donation helps to fill the financial gap when state dollars are not enough. In 2015 - 2016, the Foundation provided more than $350,000 to help cover needs of the students, faculty, and academic programs.

Your contribution will have a lasting impact.

Leave a legacy by funding an endowment. Your gift will keep giving by providing scholarships to students for years to come. In 2015 - 2016, scholarships brightened the future for 218 推荐正规买球平台 students with more than $199,000 awarded to these deserving individuals.
