Emergency Fund for Southwest Virginia Community Colleges
In response to the horrific weather situation over this past weekend created by Hurricane Helene, the Virginia Foundation for Community Foundation Education (VFCCE) is reaching out to you and our many constituents to ask for your generous support to the Emergency Fund for Southwest Virginia Community Colleges, to provide emergency funds for our colleges in the regions where the most devastation has occurred:
Virginia Highlands Community College
Southwest Virginia Community College
Mountain Empire Community College
New River Community College
Wytheville Community College
The Emergency Fund for Southwest Virginia Community Colleges will be collected through the VFCCE, and immediately disbursed to the local college foundations. The need is urgent and now.
Out of the more than 240,000 people that Virginia’s Community Colleges serve across the commonwealth each year, only a handful of second-year students are selected for a Fellows program.
The Fellows programs provide full tuition, book expenses, fees, and exclusive opportunities to participate in a unique curriculum of intellectual and cultural activities. A cornerstone of these programs is community engagement, a feature demonstrated by each Fellow volunteering 80 hours of service in their area during the academic year to help strengthen their leadership skills and develop a strong foundation for future success.
Please join us in welcoming these hard-working scholars as distinguished members of the 2020-21 Fellows Cohort:
