For over 50 years, CCC has been a cornerstone of our community, offering a gateway to higher education that many students might not otherwise have. Thanks to your generosity, countless individuals - regardless of financial means - have been able to pursue their academic and career aspirations right here at home.

As we prepare for our upcoming relocation to a new campus in fall 2025, our mission remains unchanged: to provide exceptional educational opportunities and support for all who seek it. But to achieve this, we need your help.

The Clinton Community College Foundation plays a critical role in supporting students who face financial barriers. Last year alone, we awarded over $143,000 in scholarships and emergency funds, ensuring students could stay on course, buy textbooks, and manage unexpected challenges. Here are just a few highlights:

• 24 nursing students received financial assistance to cover their NCLEX exam fees - the final hurdle to launching their healthcare careers.

• 48 on-campus students were awarded $40,787 in scholarships this fall, while 83 high school students received $21,000 to help them take our college courses at their high school.

In 2025, CCC will make history as the first community college in New York State to relocate to a four-year campus location. This transition will expand opportunities for our students while preserving our identity as a community-focused institution that delivers personalized, high-quality education.

You can help make this vision a reality - and create a lasting impact for our students. Please visit our new gift planning website at www.cccgiving.org, where you’ll find tools, videos, and financial calculators to help you plan a gift that leaves a legacy.

Your support doesn’t just make a difference - it transforms lives. Thank you for being a part of this transformation.

With deep gratitude,

Steven G. Frederick, Vice President for Institutional Advancement and Executive Director, Clinton Community College Foundation
