Your Gift Made an Incredible Difference on PCC’s Big Give Day!

Thanks to your support, we’ve strengthened and expanded scholarships and programs at PCC — including the Exercise Science Scholarship Fund. 

Because of your gift, we awarded six scholarships totaling $7,000 to Exercise Science students this year. These scholarships are doing more than covering tuition — they’re fueling motivation, easing financial stress, and helping PCC students stay focused on their long-term goals.

One student shared that receiving this scholarship gave them the encouragement they needed to complete the program — a reminder that behind every dollar is real, life-changing support for students working hard to build brighter futures.

As we build on this momentum, your involvement remains essential. Whether through advocacy, volunteering, or continued giving, you play a vital role in removing financial barriers for Portland Community College students. If you’d like to learn more about the impact of your support or ways to stay involved, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for believing in our mission and investing in the success of our students and programs. We truly appreciate you!

With gratitude,
