About

Portland Community College’s Veterans Emergency Program Fund supports students who are serving others and are working to build meaningful civilian careers through education. This fund helps bridge student veteran financial gaps by supporting career development opportunities such as mentorship, job readiness, skill-building, and professional tools which help veterans move confidently toward long-term careers.

At the same time, unexpected financial emergencies can quickly derail a student’s progress. A car repair, housing disruption, or sudden medical expense can mean the difference between staying enrolled or stepping away from school.

Your gifts help to address unexpected financial emergencies which remain one of the leading reasons students pause or abandon their education. By providing timely support, the fund helps veterans remain in class, continue progressing toward graduation, and avoid setbacks that could delay their career goals. Supporting this fund means investing in proven leaders who are committed to building a strong future, ensuring that short-term crises do not prevent long-term success.

Join us as we work to raise $1,500 for the Veteran's Emergency Program 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.
