"Not a day goes by that I don't give thanks for the opportunity you have had a hand
in providing for me and my children.
"Without your generosity, I would not be where I am today!
"Please accept not only my humble gratitude, but that of my children. If asked, they
would tell you I remind them often of how this scholarship has made a difference for

Endowments
An endowment is a permanent fund in which the principle is invested and the earnings
are used to support students. Endowed funds support in perpetuity, programs or purposes
designated by the donor. Unrestricted endowed funds are especially critical because
they allow the college to respond to challenges and opportunities as they change over
time.
Memorial Scholarships
Donations are made by family and friends in memory of a loved one. Proceeds are often
directed to particular programs or specific areas of student aid.
Foundation & Donation Details
The SCC Foundation is a separate 501(c) 3 tax exempt organization established in 1984
to provide funding for student and college needs not otherwise met by state funding
and tuition fees. A volunteer board of directors composed of representatives of community
leaders, business and industry, alumni and educators governs the Foundation. For the
purpose of strengthening the development program and partially defraying related administrative
costs, a fee of 5% will be assessed on all gifts and contracts made to the Shoreline
Community College Foundation effective July 1, 2013.
