Gifts to Rose Scholarship Endowment contribute to...
The Rose Scholarship Endowment is awarded each year to a student dedicated to giving back to their community and who shows extraordinary motivation and determination. Years ago at each district in-service, the college would present bouquets of roses to long-term faculty and staff until someone came up with the great idea to start a scholarship honoring that long-term service instead of the rose presentation.
Since then, we have heard many of the Rose Scholars speak at in-service or other college events. We've learned of their triumphs and the obstacles they've overcome. They tell us about their future hopes and dreams. Most have plans for continuing their education beyond PCC. Some have dreams of medical school while others have gone on to study at prestigious institutions like Yale. Several have been inspired to pursue careers serving in the community and others work in business or industry.
They are all grateful for the opportunity to receive a scholarship, with less worry about how they are going to pay for their educational pursuits.
With great community support, we endowed the Rose Scholarship in 2021. Donors can now rest assured that the Rose scholarship will be available to PCC Students in perpetuity.
Join us as we work to raise $5,000 for the Rose Scholarship Endowment on Big Give Day by making a gift now!
Thanks to the generosity of Jan Coulton, Bradford Vincent, Flora and Gary Lippert, your gift to the Rose Scholarship Endowment will be double-matched. That means, for each $1 you give, it will be matched by $2, tripling your impact! (up to the first $1,500 in gifts)
Be sure to encourage your friends to do the same by sharing Big Give Day on social media using the hashtag #PCCBigGiveDay.
