Opportunity is a starting point, but certificates, diplomas, and degrees change lives. 

Success is what counts.

Danville Community College is proud to be one of the 83 colleges in the nation to be invited to participate in the Achieving the Dream:  Community Colleges Count initiative funded by the Lumina Foundation for Education, KnowledgeWorks Foundation and Nellie Mae Education Foundation.  Funds received through the grant support strategies to enhance learning and success of all DCC students, particularly low-income students, students of color, and first-generation students.
