Mission Statement: To enhance the well being of our students body, alumni, faculty, college and community by providing scholarships and establishing various social, athletic, cultural, economic and fund-raising events. The Suffolk Community College Foundation is a non-profit corporation formed to develop additional resources to enable the college to provide quality educational experiences for its students. Minority scholarships, honors scholarships, and awards based on financial need and academic merit are funded by the Foundation. Emergency student loans, special projects for professional staff development, support for unique academic enrichment programs, and efforts to enhance the community's awareness of the college and its services are also supported by Foundation resources. The Foundation is governed by a Board of Directors representing many diverse constituencies. Men and women from the professions, business, industry, civic and social organizations, and college alumni serve without
compensation to assist the college in its mission to provide the highest quality of academic service to the citizens of Suffolk County.
