Help Students Succeed Through a Payroll Deduction to Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»'s Legacy Scholarship
October 9, 2020
October 9, 2020 – Payroll deduction is an easy way for an employee to have a direct impact in a student's life. No amount is too little or too big, employees decide the amount to donate per pay period. In 2017, Bill Penny, AVP for Information Technology Services and CIO established the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» Legacy Scholarship to inspire faculty and staff to assist students attending Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³». We have a history at this college of putting students first. The work we do is extraordinary because we believe so completely in our mission providing opportunities to students.
"As a teenager, because of financial challenges, I didn't see a path to higher education It took many years of military service for me to find my way," Penny said. "So when I thought about my own personal legacy, I couldn't think of a better way to make a difference than by giving the gift of education to someone who faces the same financial challenges. The reality is that many who want a chance for a bright future need a helping hand. Sometimes that help can take the form of mentoring or simple encouragement. Thankfully, at Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» we have a strong culture of volunteering our time to go the extra mile. But many times, financial assistance is the answer."
Thank you in advance for considering making a donation that will impact a student's life. Together we can make a difference and add value to the lives of our students. The electronic deduction form is available through eStaff. Click on My Information > My Documents > Public Documents > Foundation's Forms > Payroll Deduction – Scholarships.
