Make a small gift--Make a huge difference.

How can I make a gift?

Hundreds and thouands of large and small unrestricted, restricted and endowed gifts from students, alumni, parents, faculty, staff, adminstrators, corporations and foundations are made annually. Simply make a cash donation or send a check to the CCBC Essex program of your choice.

What are Unrestricted/Restricted Dollars?

Unrestricted gifts from all donors are used immediately to address the urgent needs of the Essex campus and the highest CCBC Essex Foundation priorities. Restricted gifts are designated by the donor to be used directly to enhance a specified college program, department, scholarship, or campus initiatives.

What are Endowed Dollars?

Many donors prefer to establish a scholarship that will be awarded annually to a needy student. The principle of the gift is invested and only the interest can be awarded each year. Usually this is for a memorial scholarship, family scholarship, corporate donor or alumni recognition.

Will my gift make a difference?

Absolutely! Tuition at CCBC Essex is $90 per credit. We are the best educational value the County offers. Sixty-five percent of CCBC students are in financial need. A scholarship can make all the difference to a student's academic success.
