THE FINGER LAKES COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOUNDATION, INC. The Finger Lakes Community College Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation established to seek private support for the College’s mission. Given the growing constraints placed upon public funding, private giving is increasingly important to public higher education. Private contributions help maintain the standard of excellence at Finger Lakes Community College. The Finger Lakes Community College Foundation assists the College with faculty development, special projects, equipment purchases, and scholarships. Many named scholarships have been established by individuals, businesses, or community organizations to honor the memory of individuals who were connected with the College and its mission. THE FINGER LAKES COMMUNITY COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM The Finger Lakes Community College Foundation Scholarship Program has two goals: • • to assist incoming students who have demonstrated academic excellence in high school, or who are returning to college as non-traditional age adult students, and to assist returning students who have demonstrated the ability to achieve success at Finger Lakes Community College. Scholarships range from $250 per year to full tuition. New students who receive first-year scholarships and who meet academic standards will be seriously considered for continued funding.
