Community Support
For Whatcom Community College and the WCC Foundation, our students are the top priority. The College is dedicated to providing the highest quality academic instruction along with wraparound support systems necessary to help students flourish and persevere in their academic journeys. We know that financial hardship is a key barrier to completion. Our students have shared with us that having a supportive community is one of the most critical issues for them. The Foundation and the College recognize our generous donors for providing important scholarships and emergency funding. Our donors’ vital support signifies to our students that someone believes in them and recognizes their efforts. This is important validation for a student and can be a seminal moment in their journey. They looked for help, and their community at WCC stepped forward. Many of our students work full-time while attending college full-time and are also balancing taking care of family members. The scholarships and emergency funding our students receive allow them more time to study, cover essential costs, and pay their rent. Having housing and food security allows students to focus on their educational goals. We thank our community of donors for their support of our students.
