Student Success Fund: Why Unrestricted Giving Matters

Flexibility for Immediate Impact

When you donate unrestricted funds, you're empowering SPSCC students with the flexibility they need to overcome the unexpected. Whether it's covering tuition gaps, paying for textbooks, or addressing emergency expenses, your contribution ensures that students can stay on track, no matter what challenges arise.

Making Success Possible

Unrestricted funds allow the Foundation to meet student needs in real time. Some of the items these funds support include:

  • Emergency Grants: Helping students navigate sudden financial challenges like medical bills or car repairs.
  • Basic Needs Support: Ensuring students have access to food, housing, and essential resources.
  • Scholarships: Bridging the gap between financial aid and the actual cost of education.
  • Targeted Impact: Flexible funding that meets emerging student and college needs.
  • Operations: Supporting Foundation work that ensures efficient stewardship and maximum impact of donated funds.
