Centennial Endowment Fund

In celebration of the college’s 100-year anniversary in 2023, an endowment campaign was created to support annual scholarships for students. The goal of the Centennial Endowment Fund is to raise $100,000 to support individuals working toward their associate degree in nursing (ADN) and those working toward their associate degree in teaching, both career paths that are in high demand.

The initiative will continue with the hopes of adding to the endowment funds so that the college can extend scholarship opportunities for additional degree programs for the future.
