Ways to Give

You, too, can make an impact in the future of ������ and its students by becoming a part of our donor family TODAY via one of the methods below.

“There are so many who would love the opportunity to receive a higher education, but do not have the means to balance school and working. People [like you] make it possible for people like me to maintain a full-time school schedule and finish school…I plan to take my education in Cosmetology to be a business owner and make improvements in my life…and like you all, hope to give back to my community in the same way.”

– Patricka Bellinger, 2018 Scholarship Recipient

Establishing Scholarships/Endowments

Establishing a scholarship or an endowment in your name, the name of a loved one, or the name of your business or organization is a great way to provide direct support to BCC students. While establishing a scholarship may be considered a short-term gift (students will only receive your contributions until the funding runs out), Endowments mean scholarships can be given from your investment in perpetuity – your scholarship will be available for BCC students for generations to come. Endowments are an everlasting gift!

For more information, please visit our Scholarships & Endowments page.
