Donating to Southwest Virginia Community College

Gifts to Southwest Virginia Community College (SVCC) directly benefit students and enhance SVCC's educational programs and services.  By giving your support, you can gain the satisfaction of supporting the education of a deserving student while, at the same time, saving money on your taxes (gifts are tax deductible within the guidelines of the I.R.S.).  Whether you can contribute $1,000 or $25, you will make a big difference in the lives of many students. 

"Think of giving not as a duty but as a privilege."  -John D. Rockefeller, Jr.

ALUMNI FUNDS

 Scholarship Fund  &  Homecoming Fund               

Two $500 SVCC Alumni Scholarships are awarded yearly to a 1st or 2nd year SVCC student who is the child of a SVCC graduate.  This scholarship is designed to supplement the student by aiding in the purchase of books, tuition, or curriculum supplies.

The SVCC Homecoming is an annual alumni event held each fall.  This "free" event provides the perfect opportunity to reunite with old classmates, friends, and professors.  Former and current faculty and staff are also invited to join in the fun. 

If you wish to make a donation to either fund, please make checks payable to: 
SVCC Educational Foundation and specify, Scholarship Fund or Homecoming Event, and mail to:
