Community Update

SOUTH HOLLAND, IL – The South Suburban
College Foundation (SSCF) announces the 2013 Scholarship Donor Drive is officially
under way.  The SSCF is seeking support
from the local community to help make a difference in the lives of residents
seeking their college education.  This
support provides scholarship assistance each year to many students who otherwise
would be unlikely to begin or complete their college education.  The SSCF Board of Directors has set this
year’s fundraising goal at $100,000.

One-hundred percent (100%) of Donor
Drive donations benefit scholarship and student assistance funds.  Whether it is a high school graduate, an
unemployed resident looking for a career change, or a single parent pursuing
their college degree for the first time, the SSC Foundation offers scholarship
assistance to all students in need. Helping students achieve their college
dream can give them the tools to improve their lives and their communities.

Scholarship opportunities are critical
for SSC students.  Many are struggling to balance family, employment, and
school responsibilities while they are often unable to receive Financial Aid.  The majority of SSC scholarship recipients do
not qualify for any other type of financial assistance. Scholarship money is
provided primarily through this fall Donor Drive.

All scholarship contributions to the SSCF are 100% tax-deductible
(TIN: 23-7191736).  The SSCF staff works
cooperatively with individuals and organizations to develop a donor plan of any
level. New scholarships can also be established with a $750 donation.

Donations may be made online at www.ssc.edu/foundation, via
PayPal to foundation@ssc.edu or mailed to:
