Student Support |
Scholarships not only provides students with critical financial assistance, but also means that Yavapai College will be able to recruit and retain the brightest and most deserving students. |
|
Program Support |
Yavapai College has identified key areas where an infusion of private support would enable us to leverage the existing investment in research and teaching activities. These areas include information technology, the Family Enrichment Center, training for Early Childhood Development, Nursing, Emergency Medical Services and Fire Science Education. |
|
Faculty Support |
The need to meet the growth demands of the college is at the heart of the Foundation. Endowed faculty chairs attract the best instructors, who bring additional resources and prestige to the college and the community, attract outstanding corporations to the area and attract the brightest students to live and work in this area. |
|
Unrestricted Support |
Unrestricted gifts provide Yavapai College with the flexibility to respond to emerging priorities and use private funds wherever the need is greatest. In an era of declining state funding, your support will be even more important to provide course development and enhance Yavapai College facilities and student assistance. |
|
Matching Gifts |
Corporate and foundation matching gifts are a way to increase your contributions. Many corporations will match the gifts that employees (and former employees) make to educational institutions. |
