Carroll Community College

 

Carroll Community College Foundation's Annual Campaign provides funding to assist with ongoing costs such as student scholarships, innovative programs and other worthy initiatives. It allows the Foundation the ability to respond quickly to the short term needs of the college and its students, which is vital to the well being of our college community. Carroll faces the continuous challenge of keeping education financially affordable to the greatest number of area residents while helping students learn in state of the market settings. Annual Campaign funding helps our college overcome these challenges.

The Carroll Community College Foundation recently kicked-off the employee phase of the 2009 Annual Campaign. Ninty-five percent of college employees generously supported the campaign in 2008 donating over $44,000! This is unprecedented support of this fund demonstrates the dedication of our college community.

If you would like information on how you can support this important initiative please contact the Foundation Office at 410-386-8155.

"I wish to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who supports the Carroll Community College Foundation. It is only through financial assistance that I and many other students are able to fulfill our academic goals. By supporting the foundation you make it possible for students to develop a stronger future and obtain an excellent education.

My experience at Carroll has been rewarding. The opportunities I have encountered here have helped me mature as a leader and an active member of my community. I am excited to come to school and give back to those who have invested in me. I am currently the president of two clubs including the Student Government Organization, and I am involved in leadership challenge as an advanced challenger. I have developed a love for serving the community and helping people in any way I can.

I am the fifth of ten children and the eldest daughter. Growing up in such a large family has given me memories and taught me values that I will always cherish. The challenges of living in a large family on one income have instilled in me sacrifice, diligence and faithfulness. My education is very important to me, and I take it seriously. However, my family is even more important to me, as well as, the education that my siblings receive. Without financial support, neither I nor my siblings would be able to receive a college education. Just the thought of that instills in me an extreme gratitude for those who are willing to give to support the Carroll Community College Foundation. That support is a perfect investment in the future of the next generation, and such kindness is truly motivating and encouraging. Such generosity has inspired me to give back to those around me.

Though words cannot fully express it, I wish to give my sincere gratitude. The impact of such generosity is truly immeasurable.

Please consider a gift to the 2009 Annual Campaign, and continue to make a difference!"
