Mission

The mission of the Craven Community College Foundation is to provide broad-based community support for the College in achieving its educational goals. Since 1977, the Craven Community College Foundation has provided financial support to the students and programs of Craven Community College. Thousands of students have better lives as a direct result, and everyone in Craven and surrounding counties benefits indirectly because a better-educated work force means more new business and industry, a broader tax base, and a stronger local economy.

Facts

The 2002-2003 year brought much success to the Craven Community College Foundation, with the support of the Foundation Board of Directors. The PCS Phosphate Golf Tournament was held May 17-18, 2003, with the proceeds going towards scholarships. In addition, the Foundation established two new endowment funds, for a total of 18.

The Foundation awards scholarships to area high school students for $500 per academic year. The recipients must have a cumulative average of 85 or above at the end of the first semester of the senior year and once enrolled at Craven Community College must maintain an overall 3.0 cumulative quality point average.

Craven Community College faculty and staff contribute over $11,000 each year through the campus fund drive. Each year mini-grants are awarded to faculty and staff members to fund projects which cannot be funded through the College budget. These projects consist of grants for equipment, computer software, and professional development for faculty and staff.

The Foundation extends a sincere "thank you" to those who have contributed both time and financial resources over the years.
