CELEBRATE AMERICA’S 250TH BIRTHDAY BY INVESTING IN STUDENT SUCCESS

Join 250 donors contributing $250 to establish a permanent 250 Years Proud Pensacola State College Endowed Scholarship.

 

OUR GOAL

Pensacola State College has been our community’s beacon for affordable, quality education for nearly eighty years. As our country celebrates its 250th year of independence, PSC invites you to join the mission to ensure students can create a better life for themselves and their families. This collective effort strengthens neighbors, students, who will go on to become first responders, emergency room nurses, valued employees and coworkers. When 250 patriotic individuals band together to contribute $250 each, their combined generosity will establish an endowed “last-dollar” scholarship of $62,500, benefiting PSC students of any program or discipline. It will honor America’s founding for generations to come.

 

WHY IT MATTERS

As fellow Americans, many of us take pride in the milestone moments and accomplishments of our lives, especially those that we worked tirelessly to achieve. The journeys of many PSC students are fueled by the desire to secure a successful future—one that is inherited by their loved ones. From military veterans pursuing after-service career skills to single parents returning to complete their degrees and first-time college attendees endeavoring in vocational trades, all paths to education are not created equal. Most students balance assignments with work and familial responsibilities. A “last-dollar” endowment will bridge the gap between available financial resources and allow countless PSC students to reach their finish line: graduation without debt.

 

YOUR GIFT CREATES A LASTING IMPACT

  • 100% of contributions will support this endowment.
  • An endowed scholarship is permanent, helping PSC students year after year.
  • Your gift recognizes America’s 250th anniversary through a meaningful investment in education.
