Student Success Fund: Why Unrestricted Giving Matters

Flexibility for Immediate Impact

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.

Being an SPSCC Foundation scholarship recipient gave me a sense of relief—I could put my energy into my craft as opposed to just surviving and struggling to pay for school. Today I’m an executive chef running my own kitchen.
