SCC Foundation
The SCC Foundation enriches the quality of education at the college.
Founded in 1968, the Southeastern Community College (SCC) Foundation, Inc. is a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization that promotes and encourages support of Southeastern Community College. Directors of the SCC Foundation solicit funds through an annual drive and special events.
Gifts received are invested and used for student financial aid and student activities, faculty and staff special projects and professional development. The visual and performing arts and other special needs of the college are met through utilization of these funds.
Donors make annual gifts of cash to help meet ongoing student needs; memorial and honor gifts as a tribute to someone special; planned gifts from capital assets; special gifts such as endowed scholarships; and non-cash gifts of real estate, stocks and equipment.

Students Benefit
In 2011-2012, aid from the SCC Foundation helped leverage more than $4,321,247 in federal grants, loans, and work programs for SCC students. Students received $164,613 in financial assistance from the SCC Foundation in that same year. On average, over $175,000 is awarded to deserving students on an annual basis from over 75 named scholarships, both annual and endowed. Continuing Education students benefit from a grant awarded to offset the increased cost of skills training courses. Funded educational, social and cultural activities help enrich student lives. The Ambassador Leadership Program, also funded by the Foundation, helps to develop valuable leadership skills in those students selected to serve.
Faculty And Staff Benefit
Interest free computer loans are offered, allowing employees to maintain a high level of technical skills. Five hundred and twenty eight loans totaling $843,885 have been made since the beginning of the program in 1989. Professional development opportunities are offered to all full-time faculty and staff through the Foundation’s Professional Development Program. Mini-grants are awarded in order to fund innovative educational projects for students initiated by faculty and staff.
