About the SCC Foundation
Southwestern Community College Foundation was established in 1973. It exists solely to support the mission of SCC and is governed by a Board of Directors.
The foundation receives unrestricted gifts through the Southwestern Community College Annual Fund, a yearly campaign to support the work of the foundation and the mission of College.
In addition, the foundation solicits contributions from individuals, foundations and companies to establish endowed Named Scholarships, as well as provide Annual Scholarships.
Financial gifts to the Foundation allow SCC to maintain a level of excellence beyond that provided by state and local financial support. These gifts help fund many of the “essentials” of education, and allow SCC to keep pace with the ever expanding needs of our community.
