The Broome Community College Foundation will hold its annual Scholarship Reception at 6 p.m. Thursday, May 3, in SUNY Broome’s Ice Center.
The Foundation will award more than 200 merit-based scholarships to nearly 300 students during the event. The Foundation also supports more than 1,200 students with need-based grants-in-aid, awarded to students through Financial Aid.
There will be an all-campus awards presentation at 6 p.m. Awards for the four academic divisions – Business and Professional Studies, Health Sciences, Liberal Arts, and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics – will begin at 7 p.m.
Attendance at the event is expected to exceed 500, including students, their guests, donors, campus faculty and staff, representatives from local corporations and organizations, SUNY Broome Trustees, and members of the BCC Foundation Board.
The BCC Foundation awarded over $1,300,000 in support in 2017 and is projected to exceed that amount again this year.
The Foundation also will award many merit scholarships to incoming SUNY Broome freshmen for the Fall 2018 semester; they are recognized at the awards ceremony at their local high schools.
