For 55 years the Clackamas Communi-
ty College Foundation has worked with
community members to fund accessible
higher education for all CCC students
(on three campuses across Clackamas
County).
More than 90% of CCC students who
receive financial support through the
Foundation are low-income students
who are usually the first in their families
to attend college. These students either
work full time or take on several part-
time jobs while balancing family and
personal commitments while enrolled.
Our community of education investors
understand these challenges and seek
to remove financial and economic
barriers by assisting with tuition through
annual and endowment scholarships.
Because of these efforts, students who
received a CCC scholarship in 2022-
23 were more likely to graduate than
those who did not receive a scholar-
ship. To serve more students, the CCC
Foundation aims to provide $1 million
in scholarship aid annually.
