About

“Studying abroad truly changed me and has made me more determined to believe in myself and achieve my educational goals.” - Foxx Hess

Did you know that PCC offers study abroad programs? Since 2017, PCC students have studied abroad with PCC faculty members in 13 countries around the world, earning PCC credit and forging their own ways as global citizens. Students gain a greater appreciation of diversity and cultural understanding and are better prepared to succeed in a worldwide economic environment. This experience is life-changing, and often a rare opportunity at a community college level.

Funding this experience is not easy which is why we are raising $3,000 in scholarship money to help “fill the gap”. Students work diligently to raise funds to make this happen, but there is often a gap between their funding and program expenses. Your contribution can help students achieve their goal of studying abroad and experiencing the world!

Join us as we work to raise $3,000 for the Education Abroad Scholarship on Big Give Day by making a gift now!

Be sure to encourage your friends to do the same by sharing Big Give Day on social media using the hashtag #PCCBigGiveDay.

Thank you!
