Organizations Filed Purposes:
THE BRCC EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION BUILDS COMMUNITY RELATIONSHIPS AND SECURES RESOURCES TO STRENGTHEN THE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES OF BLUE RIDGE COMMUNITY COLLEGE. CURRENT LEVELS OF FUNDING ARE NOT SUFFICIENT TO KEEP PACE WITH THE CHALLENGES OF MEETING BRCC'S DIVERSE STUDENT NEEDS AND ADDRESSING WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AND PROGRAMS. ADDITIONALLY, TRADITIONAL FUNDING SOURCES ARE NOT EXPECTED TO GROW IN PROPORTION TO BRCC'S ENROLLMENT. TO MEET THE COMMUNITY'S INCREASING NEEDS FOR PROGRAMS, SERVICES, FACILITIES, AND SCHOLARSHIPS, PRIVATE FUNDS ARE NECESSARY. FUNDS RAISED BY THE BRCC EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION REPRESENT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ADEQUACY, AS PROVIDED BY TRADITIONAL SOURCES OF FUNDING, AND EXCELLENCE, THAT ONLY PRIVATE INVESTMENT CAN PROVIDE.
THE FOUNDATION PROVIDES GRANTS FOR SCHOLARSHIPS AND OTHER SUPPORT TO BLUE RIDGE COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
THE FOUNDATION PROVIDED $530,079 IN WAGE REIMBURSEMENTS TO THE COLLEGE IN SUPPORT OF EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES, CAREER COACHING, NURSING, VETERINARY TECHNOLOGY, AND WORKFORCE AND CONTINUING EDUCATION.
DURING THE 2019-20 ACADEMIC YEAR, THE FOUNDATION PROVIDED 120 SCHOLARSHIPS TOTALING $372,175 TO 243 STUDENTS. SCHOLARSHIPS WERE PROVIDED TO STUDENTS IN CREDIT PROGRAMS, AS WELL AS CHILDREN PARTICIPATING IN BRCC'S LEARNING CAN BE FUN SUMMER YOUTH PROGRAM. AWARDS WERE ALSO MADE THROUGH THE CAREER PATHWAYS PROGRAM FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TAKING CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION CLASSES THROUGH CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT OR DUAL ENROLLMENT. MANY OF THESE SCHOLARSHIPS ARE BASED ON FINANCIAL NEED. ALTHOUGH A BRCC EDUCATION APPEARS AFFORDABLE, ESPECIALLY COMPARED TO FOUR-YEAR INSTITUTIONS, IT IS BEYOND THE MEANS OF MANY STUDENTS AND FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITY. THESE SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS GIVE STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACHIEVE THEIR CAREER AND LIFE GOALS AND IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF THEIR FAMILIES AND THE COMMUNITIES IN WHICH THEY LIVE AND WORK.
THE FOUNDATION PURCHASED EQUIPMENT FOR THE COLLEGE TOTALING $318,711, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO: NURSING LAB SIMULATION EQUIPMENT; UPGRADES FOR THE ROBERT E. PLECKER WORKFORCE CENTER AND CLASSROOMS; AND A PORTABLE X-RAY MACHINE, LIFT TABLE WITH SCALE AND OTHER NEEDED EQUIPMENT FOR THE VETERINARY TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM.
