Message from the Foundation Executive Director

Dr. Susan Chappell Executive Director

Thank you for visiting the Florida Community College Foundation Web pages. Our Foundation has enjoyed steady growth in recent years, with over $1 million in scholarships awarded to over 1,000 students last year. With the help of our dedicated Board, we continue to tell the story of how dreams become reality through the achievement of a college education. Your investment in the Foundation helps us provide access to citizens from across our communities. Now, more than ever, we need your help as scholarship support becomes an increasingly important source of tuition assistance for our students.

We are working to maximize the impact of the Dr. Philip Benjamin Matching Program for Community Colleges. This state program provides a dollar for dollar match for your scholarship contributions and that means the value of your investment in our Foundation increases by two-fold, making it possible for us to offer even more scholarships to worthy students. You couldn’t ask for a better return on your investment!

We invite you to join our many employees and supporters in this initiative to boost scholarship resources for students who attend Florida Community College. Our scholarships not only provide critical financial support, but they also create hope for a better quality of life. Thank you for making a very real difference in Northeast Florida.

Dr. William Mason President

Dear Friends:

On behalf of the Florida Community College Foundation Board of Directors, we are most grateful for the wonderful support of our donors. We are grateful to so many people who believe in, and are committed to, the good work that the College is doing for our students and community.

This coming year, I look forward to working with local community leaders, businesses and corporations to raise awareness of the vital role Florida Community College plays in our community. We are fortunate to have Florida Community College available to meet student and community needs. However, despite the relatively low cost of tuition, many students cannot continue their education due to financial hardships.

To help these students achieve their career potential and to increase the number of Florida Community College graduates available to meet local workforce needs, the Florida Community College Foundation launched a campaign to raise critically needed scholarship dollars.

Your investment in Florida Community College students will help our community to grow and prosper by ensuring that a skilled workforce is available to meet the needs of our regional economy. Please consider joining other community leaders, businesses and friends of the College who have already contributed to the scholarship campaign. Additional information on the campaign and how you can become a Florida Community College supporter is available by contacting the Florida Community College Foundation at 904.632.3237.
