TOP 10 Reasons to be a "CHAMPION for our Students"
|
#10: Cascadia is a great investment.
Supporting Cascadia's students is one of the best investments in higher education.
With one of the highest transfer rates in Washington's community college system, we
simply get more students into the state's colleges and universities.
#9: Cascadia is nationally recognized.
Ranked #22 in the nation by Washington Monthly's college guide for 2015, Cascadia
is the highest ranked community college in Washington State.
#8: Cascadia is a great value.
Despite tuition increases over the last several years, Cascadia remains a bargain
compared to the costs of the first two years of education at a 4-year institution.
#7: Cascadia presents opportunity.
Quality education and professional training offered at Cascadia has opened doors for
thousands of students - and the Foundation develops the community resources that enrich
student learning experiences, provide scholarships, enhance faculty and staff development,
and assist with key college initiatives.
#6. Cascadia Innovates.
Beginning in the Fall of 2015, the college will open its doors to students seeking
a bachelors degree in Applied Science in Sustainable Practices. And the Foundation
will be there to support these students.
#5. Cascadia's Foundation provides enduring student support.
A history of generous giving equates to a history of support. For more than fifteen
years, our long standing commitment to Cascadia equates to over $500,000 scholarship
dollars awarded - and more than $275,000 in additional support through loans, grants,
and support of key college programs.
#4. We can't do it without you.
Thanks only to generous support from friends like you, scholarships, book loans and
grants, transportation assistance, and testing support are possible for hundreds of
students each year.
#3. The need for support is ongoing.
Every year the need for support renews itself. New students fill the chairs of those
who move on to four year institutions and better paying jobs. Your ongoing generosity
ensures future students receive equivalent opportunities.
#2. The need is noteworthy.
In each of the last three years, three of every four students who applied for a scholarship
were turned away. We can and need to do more.
And the Number One Reason to be a CHAMPION for our students ...
#1. Together we transform lives!
Each contribution made is invested in our students - the talented, deserving, and
motivated members and future leaders of our community. Your contribution empowers
students and helps them overcome barriers to their success.
Your support helps our students receive a quality education as well as the assistance,
encouragement, and services they need to find and follow their own unique path to
successful learning.
Your support helps our students achieve their dreams!
