Scholarship Donations
Scholarship donations are by far the most popular philanthropic gifts supporting students at Community College of Philadelphia. Scholarships and awards can be made for any amount. Donors appreciate that too many students struggle to pay for classes and are forced to leave before graduating due to financial circumstances. A scholarship can mean the difference between dropping out and completing one's education, or at least more time devoted to studies than to a part-time job.
The Community College of Philadelphia Foundation administers multiple scholarship funds that provide financial support to students pursuing an associate degree, proficiency certificate or workforce credential. Scholarships provide support for our diverse student population, whether they are current Philadelphia high school students, recent graduates, first-time College students, working individuals wanting college credentials to prepare to enter the workforce or advance in their careers, or wherever they are in their educational journeys.

"The scholarship also helped me see my self-worth. It is the first scholarship I have ever received, and it showed me that others saw something in me when I didn’t see that in myself.”
Vina Nguyen graduated in Spring 2023 after studying for the past five years while working as a pharmacy technician.
