Educational Foundation

Empowering Students. Strengthening Communities.

The Delaware County Community College Educational Foundation is a nonprofit organization that provides resources for the College’s students, faculty, programs, and facilities, opening doors for students and strengthening our region.

Each year, the Foundation awards more than $800,000 in scholarships, helping students overcome financial barriers and stay on the path to success. In addition to scholarship support, the Foundation funds key campus programs, such as the Essential Student Resource Center, which provides students with access to food, toiletries, clothing, and emergency assistance. The Foundation also supports the Veterans Center and other academic and workforce initiatives that ensure every student has the resources they need to thrive.

Our current focus is the Southeast Center in Drexel Hill, a new campus that will bring affordable education and workforce training opportunities to one of the county’s most densely populated and diverse areas. By expanding access to high-demand programs, the Southeast Center will serve as a vital hub for students and local employers alike.

We invite you to partner with us. Reach out to discuss establishing an endowed scholarship, including the Foundation in your planned giving, or exploring naming and recognition opportunities within the Southeast Center and other campus spaces. Together, we can transform lives through education.
