DCC
Foundation Annual Golf Tournament
The
Foundation hosted its first Golf Tournament
in 1999 and raised over $13,000 for scholarships.
The tournament has become an annual event and
continues to raise funds for scholarships and DCC's
athletic program. You are invited to sponsor a team
in this year's tournament. For more information on
the annual tournament, please visit the website
(http://www.dcc.vccs.edu/Foundation/Activities.htm)
or contact the Foundation office at 797-8495.
Scholarships
Scholarships make a positive impact on the lives of
many DCC students. Although our tuition is far less
expensive than that of four-year institutions, a
great number of students cannot afford the cost of
higher education.
State
and federal funds are available to eligible
students; however, we always have deserving students
who have excelled academically for whom no
assistance can be found. A scholarship sends a
strong message to student that someone believes in
them and is ready to invest in their future.
Each
year over 125 scholarships are awarded to DCC
students through the generosity of the College's
supporters. Danville Community College Educational
Foundation also awards scholarships to students
graduating from DCC and transferring to a four-year
institution.
