About the Clinton Community College Foundation

The Clinton Community College Foundation, Inc is a separate, yet affiliated, organization that raises private funds annually and awards those funds to Clinton students through various scholarships and financial assistance programs. The Foundation was organized in 1971 as a not-for-profit corporation, organized under the laws of New York State and granted tax-exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Organization is governed by an independent Board of Directors and day-to-day operations are managed by the Dean of Development and Alumni Affairs. The Board is comprised of community and college leaders committed to the common belief that quality, affordable higher education ought to be within reach of all who desire to learn, excel, and succeed. From its humble beginnings, the Foundation has grown into a financially sound and integral part of the College community.

The Foundation works closely with the Financial Aid Office to publicize, coordinate, and award scholarships. Most awards are made for the fall semester with some additional funds available for the spring semester.
