GROW A FUTURE
The Challenge
The PCC Foundation must raise $50,000 in scholarship contributions by March 31, 2010. If we reach this goal, we will receive $320,000 in matching funds from the James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation to provide scholarships for hundreds more of PCC students!
We cannot miss out on this amazing opportunity. PCC students have an unprecedented need for financial aid. Amongst colleges and universities nationwide, PCC ranks among the top ten in percentage increase of financial aid applications this year.
Last year, PCC successfully met the Miller match, providing 171 students with scholarships.
You make opportunity happen
Your gifts toward the general and restricted scholarship funds do count toward the Miller Challenge, but you’re also welcome to support Program Funds for Excellence, greatest needs, or the general endowment. Your immediate gift, whether it’s $10 or $100, will help grow a future for our deserving students.
