“I hope to one day become a pediatric nurse as I have
always wanted to help and provide care for children.
Thanks to you I am one step closer to that dream of
mine. I am the first in my family to graduate high school
and attend college so this scholarship means a lot to
my family and me.”

-Odalys, CCC Scholarship recipient

The Foundation also works diligently to meet
our community’s changing needs as the costs

of basic needs continue to rise. Many of our
students struggle to meet needs like childcare,
transportation, medical care, and groceries as
they juggle family, work, and school. Donations
to our area of greatest need fund help these
students bridge the gap so they can stay in
school and continue their education. Through
our partnership between the Oregon Food
Bank and the Cougar Food Pantry at CCC, the
Cougar Food Pantry provides healthy food to
the 30% of our student body that struggle with
food insecurity.

The Foundation is a separate not-for-profit
corporation. Twenty-one community leaders
generously volunteer their time, talent, and
resources by serving on the board of directors.
Contributions to the Foundation are tax deduct-
ible to the full extent of the law. All donations
are managed separately from the College
