Clark College students undertake their own exploration and paths of discovery. And just like penguins in nature, these students can face many challenges. Clark students can struggle with financial security, housing and food insufficiencies, uncertain job market conditions and time to balance family, jobs and education.
Your support today and for the future directly can help provide these students with security and confidence as they increase their academic knowledge or build on skills through training.
How Your Gift Helps
Thanks to generous supporters who believe in a Clark College education and are committed to helping the next generation of Penguins, Clark College Foundation can direct gifts to needed areas, such as scholarships, program support, faculty and staff development, innovative initiatives and vital resources at the college.

Scholarships provide direct support in paying for tuition, fees and books that help students achieve their educational goals. Scholarships can be made as a one-time gift to the General Scholarship Fund, establishing a named scholarship for annual gifts, a limited-duration endowment spent over a prescribed number of years and a legacy endowment that provides in perpetuity. | College programs such as department resources that allow faculty and staff to provide the best learning opportunities. This can include funds for student internships, student credentials and licensing for workforce readiness, new curriculum, equipment and professional development. | Provide that margin of excellence when the college has new enterprises that can be explored, developed and implemented. Support to the general fund allows the Clark College Foundation board of directors to work with Clark College Trustees and college executive cabinet on quickly and efficiently funding needed areas. |
