Organizations Filed Purposes:
THE PURPOSES OF THE FOUNDATION SHALL BE, AMONG OTHER THINGS, TO AID AND ADVANCE THE MISSION OF WESTCHESTER COMMUNITY COLLEGE, A PUBLIC EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION RECOGNIZING THAT PUBLIC EDUCATION IS A PUBLIC RESPONSIBILITY. THE FOUNDATION SHALL HAVE AS ITS GOAL THE DEVELOPMENT OF VOLUNTARY AND SUPPLEMENTAL SUPPORT RESULTING FROM GIFTS, BEQUESTS, AND FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES. THE FOUNDATION DISBURSES INCOME OR PRINCIPAL THEREOF, FOR THE BENEFIT OF WESTCHESTER COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOR, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS AND EMERGENCY AID, FACULTY DEVELOPMENT, EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING AND COLLEGE OPERATING AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES. THE FOUNDATION'S SUPPORT SHALL STRENGTHEN AND ENRICH THE EDUCATIONAL LIFE AND ENVIRONMENT OF WESTCHESTER COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND ENABLE THE COLLEGE TO CONTINUE TO OFFER ACCESS TO QUALITY EDUCATION AND THE SKILLS FOR SUCCESS THROUGH ITS FUNDRAISING AND PROGRAMMATIC ACTIVITIES.
SCHOLARSHIPS AND AWARDS: OPPORTUNITY: SCHOLARSHIP FUNDING WILL ALWAYS BE A VITAL PART OF THE FOUNDATION'S MISSION, LEVELING THE PLAYING FIELD BY MAKING SURE EDUCATION IS AVAILABLE TO ALL WHO SEEK IT. DESPITE THE COLLEGE'S BEST EFFORTS TO CONTAIN COSTS, EVEN WITH THE LOWEST TUITION IN OUR REGION, TUITION, FEES, TRANSPORTATION, AND EVEN SUSTENANCE ARE OBSTACLES FOR MANY STUDENTS WHO HAVE A PROFOUND AND COMPELLING NEED FOR ASSISTANCE. SCHOLARSHIPS HAVE A TRANSFORMATIONAL IMPACT, MOST OFTEN MAKING THE CRUCIAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MOVING AHEAD AND FALLING BEHIND. IN ADDITION TO IMPORTANT FINANCIAL BENEFITS, SCHOLARSHIPS BESTOW ON STUDENTS A VALUABLE SENSE OF RECOGNITION AND ACCOMPLISHMENT. SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE FOR INCOMING, CONTINUING AND GRADUATING STUDENTS; THEY TAKE INTO ACCOUNT MERIT, NEED, AND OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES; EMERGENCY AID ASSISTS STUDENT WITH FOOD INSECURITY, TRANSPORTATION, AND UNFORESEEN PREDICAMENTS. THIS PAST YEAR, GIFTS FROM INDIVIDUALS, FOUNDATION, AND CORPORATIONS ENABLED THE WCC FOUNDATION TO REACH A NEW MILESTONE OF DISTRIBUTING $2 MILLION IN SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS; EVEN SO, WE CAN ONLY FUND ABOUT 60% OF DESERVING STUDENTS APPLYING FOR AID.
COLLEGE AND INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT: NEW INITIATIVES FOR STUDENT SUCCESS:SUCCESS: GETTING STUDENTS READY TO START STRONG AND FINISH BIG IS A HIGH PRIORITY. PROGRAMS ARE ADDRESSING THE DIVERSE NEEDS OF STUDENTS AT ALL LEVELS AND AT EACH STEP ON THEIR EDUCATIONAL PATHWAY, REMOVING IMPEDIMENTS TO DEGREE COMPLETION. FUND RAISING EFFORTS FOR NEW EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES PERTAINING TO STUDENT SUCCESS WITH A FOCUS ON STUDENT READINESS, RETENTION, AND GRADUATION HAVE PILOTED COLLEGE READINESS PROGRAMS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, COMPLETION COACHING FOR CONTINUING STUDENTS PURSUING DEGREES, AND SPECIAL SERVICES THAT SUPPORT OTHER NON-ACADEMIC NEEDS. THE FOUNDATION ALSO SUPPORTS VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS IN ACADEMIC SUPPORT, TUTORING, AND ESL; AND AN ALUMNI PROGRAM THAT HELPS TO FORGE CONNECTIONS AND ENCOURAGE MENTORING.NEW INITIATIVES FOR CURRICULUM AND JOB READINESS:EXCELLENCE: BEGINNING WITH THE END IN MIND IS KEY.

NEW PROGRAMS PILOTED WITH FUNDS FROM THE WCC FOUNDATION INCLUDE THE HONORS COLLEGE FOR HIGH ACHIEVING STUDENTS; THE FACULTY DEVELOPMENT FUND FOR CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT; PATHWAYS FROM SHORT-TERM PROFESSIONAL (NONCREDIT) CERTIFICATIONS TO DEGREE ATTAINMENT; AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNOLOGY ACROSS THE CAMPUS.
