“What a blessing!… I’m entering the final stretch of my nursing program. I thank each and every person or group that has made the choice of donating funds of all amounts into the future of society through the students of Clatsop Community College. I hope that one day I can be in a position to offer that support to a future student at CCC.”

“Thank you so much. Your email reached me at work and as I read it on my break, I cried. This is such a relief for me and my son. This isn’t merely a scholarship that will help with every financial aspect of our lives until I’m able to start my career, but a reaffirmation that I am on the right path. Thank you from every cell in my body. I can’t wait until I am able to repay the generosity that I have been bestowed.”
