Since 1987, the NCCC Foundation has helped thousands of SUNY Niagara students pursue their educational goals by removing financial barriers to higher education. Each year, the Foundation awards more than $250,000 in scholarships to deserving students, creating opportunities that change lives.
The Scholarship Soirée continues that tradition by bringing together alumni, businesses, faculty, staff, and community members for an evening dedicated to investing in student success. One of the things that makes the Scholarship Soirée unique is that it showcases the incredible talent of SUNY Niagara students. Culinary Arts and Baking & Pastry Arts students prepare the evening’s food stations and desserts, while scholarship recipients are recognized for their achievements and the impact donor support has had on their education.
Whether you attend, become a sponsor, donate an auction or raffle item, or make a gift, your support helps provide scholarships and creates opportunities for the next generation of SUNY Niagara students.
