COCC Foundation offers record $1.72 million in scholarships
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- The Central Oregon Community College Foundation announced Tuesday that it has offered $1.72 million in scholarships for the 2020-21 academic year, a record-setting figure for the organization that will assist some 380 students as they pursue educational ambitions at the college.
“This is a reflection of our compassionate community, including our dedicated supporters from the past year, representing more than 550 individual and business donors who gave gifts large and small to improve lives through education at COCC,” said Brittany Nichols, director of COCC Foundation programs. “And scholarships often make or break a student’s ability to attend college.”
