It's Never Too Late to Build a New Future

Nearly half of all adults have attended a community college, and more than one in four returned later in life to gain new skills, earn a credential, or prepare for a new career.

Learning doesn't stop after high school. Every day, adult students are choosing to invest in themselves—and scholarships help make that possible.

Help build Sussex County's future workforce. Learn how you can support the 100 Men Project:

Support the Men Who Are Building Tomorrow

More men are returning to Sussex County Community College to refresh their skills, learn a technical trade, or prepare for a new career. They are investing in themselves—and in the future of our community.

For many of these students, the biggest obstacle isn't determination—it's the cost of earning their education. Scholarships can make the difference between putting a dream on hold and achieving it.

Be one of the 100 making a difference. Learn more or make a gift to support scholarships through the 100 Men Project:

Two graduates of our High School Equivalency (HSE) Program, Jairo (Jay) Hernandes and Elisangela (Lisa) Silva, have been awarded the only two New Jersey Association for Lifelong Learning (NJALL) Scholarships presented statewide this year.

Each student will receive up to $8,000 to support their educational journey as they continue their studies at Sussex: Jay is currently enrolled at SCCC and serves as a Student Ambassador, and Lisa will begin our Culinary Arts program this fall.
