Annual Giving

Annual Campaign 2008

The 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 overcomes these challenges.

The Carroll Community College Foundation recently kicked off the employee phase of the 2008 Annual Campaign. 97% of college employees generously supported the campaign in 2007 donating over $40,000! This is unprecedented support of this fund and 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 410-386-8150.


Jenna Myers, Scholarship Recipient... Thank you to everyone who supports the Carroll Community College Foundation. I am one of many students who have directly benefited from your generosity. Without your financial assistance I would be struggling to pay my tuition. Thankfully, I can devote a great deal of my time to my studies and can proudly say that after my first semester I have a 4.0 GPA. The financial assistance also enables me to be able to participate in campus activities and volunteer for community activities that I am passionate about. I decided to attend Carroll Community College before a four-year school due to financial constraints and to stay home and help out with my family of eight. I live on a 200 acre dairy farm that is entirely run by my parents. I have three younger sisters (16, 10, and 2) and twin brothers (1 year). My family is the center of my life that I value most so I didn't want to leave home and miss out on seeing my younger siblings grow up and not be there to help out. Since my parents have six children to care for on a farmers salary they cannot afford to pay my way through college. Receiving a scholarship to attend Carroll means so much to me and my family. My goals: I hope to move on to a four-year university after two years in the Hill Scholars Program at Carroll Community College. I haven't decided on a major, but I love photography and art. They are a few of my many passions. My overall goal is to be financially successful so that I can be self-sufficient and help others as much or more as I have benefited from the generosity of people at Carroll. Please consider a gift to the 2008 Annual Campaign!
