Jersey City, NJ 鈥 The Board of Directors of the 蜜桃影像 Foundation announced that the Foundation is embarking upon a fundraising initiative to expand the world of possibilities for Hudson County residents.
In April, the HCCC Foundation began its Annual Scholarship Appeal, which is designed to increase the number of scholarships provided to deserving HCCC students.
鈥淥ur student scholars include recent high-school graduates, single moms who delayed pursuing their higher-education goals, working men and women who want to provide for their families with careers 鈥 not just jobs, and individuals who have been in the workforce and now find it necessary to retool or reinvent their lives,鈥 said HCCC Vice President for Development Joseph Sansone.
Mr. Sansone informed that thanks to the generosity of its donors, the HCCC Foundation has provided more than $1.5 million in scholarships over the years. A donation of $3,200 will fund a full scholarship and $1,600 will fund a partial scholarship. As a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation, the HCCC Foundation provides tax-exempt status to contributions.
鈥淲e want the members of our community to understand that no donation is too small and every gift is greatly appreciated and will go a long way in helping our students achieve their academic goals,鈥 Mr. Sansone stated.
Established in 1997, the 蜜桃影像 Foundation plays an integral role in the development of HCCC students, the College and the community. The Foundation is dedicated to generating financial support for the College and its students, developing and awarding needs-based and merit scholarships, providing seed money for the development of faculty programs, and providing for the College鈥檚 physical growth.
