With your help, our foundation provides support to our students and faculty.
Students
Each year, we distribute $500,000 to deserving students to ensure they can access the education they deserve.
These distributions mean something different for every student we support.
For Sumbal Raza, a working mother and student, the Esther Clairvaux Nursing Scholarship meant she could take off work during test week without worrying about making rent or utility payments.
For Adriana Pac, receiving the Chadab Foundation Scholarship meant she was able to go back to school and do what she loves: photography.
Your donations make an immediate difference in the lives in our community.

Faculty
We annually donate $100,000 to NVCC faculty, often in the form of cutting-edge technology, new research opportunities and funding for student internships. When we benefit the team at NVCC, we ultimately enrich the education of every student who enters our facilities.
Your donations mean our faculty can provide the best environment possible to each of our students, ultimately leading to a life-changing education.
How We Do It
