Message from the CEO

Welcome to the Maricopa Community Colleges Foundation!

We support students and programs at the ten Maricopa Community Colleges. Over the past thirty years we have raised more than $38 million and we have provided in excess of $14 million in scholarships to more than 28,000 students. More often than not those students are the first in their families to ever attend college. They come to school while working and taking care of families. Finding the resources to come to college is often a significant challenge, finding resources to stay in school and complete their education is an even greater challenge.

Perhaps you are one of those students; perhaps you are someone who has helped those students in the past, or would like to do so now.

If you are a student looking for scholarships, please take the time to look through those listed here. And if you need further information, feel free to contact us or your college financial aid office.

If you are someone who is thinking about helping our students by making a gift to our Foundation there are several things to do. Take a moment and read more about us. I especially invite you to read the success stories of our incredible students. I think they will move you as they always move me. If you are inclined to make a gift . . . right here and right now you can do so by clicking on the icon. And if you would like to talk with the Foundation about a gift, I invite you to contact me--or another member of our development staff--directly.

Again, welcome to our Foundation and thanks for taking some time to get to know us!

Sincerely,

Steven R. Helfgot, Ed.D.
President & CEO
