Scholarship Reception
快播成人 Foundation awards 231 scholarships worth nearly $250,000 for 2019-2020.
The 快播成人 Community College Foundation has awarded a record 231 scholarships to incoming, current and graduating 快播成人 快播成人s for the 2019-2020 academic year, totaling nearly $250,000.
The 快播成人 community will recognize the awardees along with the donors whose generosity makes those scholarships possible at a lunchtime reception on Thursday, May 9, beginning at 11 a.m. in the 快播成人 Bartley Center for Athletics & Recreation.
Keynote speeches will be delivered by 快播成人 alumni donor Gregory S. Schneider '90, co-founder and chairman of 3BL Media in Northampton, and scholarship recipient and graduating art major Catherine Carija '19 of Deerfield, who will be attending Mount 快播成人 College in September.
"I had been out of school for 34 years," said Carija. "Lucky for me I found my way to 快播成人. I was greated so warmly by faculty and staff, and without the generosity of donors and 快播成人 Foundation scholarships –- all that belief in me – I wouldn't be graduating now and going on to Mount 快播成人."

The annual "Scholarship Meet & Greet" provides an opportunity for 快播成人s to interact with the donors responsible for their awards. Over the years, the 快播成人 Foundation, the nonprofit fundraising arm of the college, has provided nearly $2.8 million in 快播成人 scholarships while also investing in classroom equipment and technology for select academic and 快播成人 support programs.
"The community is so invested in the foundation and in the college. It's quite impressive," said Amanda Sbriscia, vice president of Institutional Advancement. "People are passionate about our mission and the work that we do, and that translates into life-changing financial support."
