Support Students
Suffolk Community College, we believe every student deserves the opportunity to pursue their education without financial barriers standing in the way. Through scholarships, grants, and fellowships, the Suffolk Community College Foundation provides essential support to help students stay on track, thrive academically, and gain valuable real-world experience.
Scholarships
Scholarships are financial awards granted to students based on academic performance, financial need, community service, or extracurricular involvement. These funds help cover tuition, textbooks, and fees, reducing financial stress and allowing students to focus on their studies.
Each year, the Suffolk Community College Foundation transfers hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarship aid to current and prospective Suffolk County Community College students. Thanks to the generosity of alumni, parents, community supporters, and corporate and foundation leaders, hundreds of students receive the financial assistance they need each year.

When life gets unpredictable, your gift keeps students on track.
Hardship Funds provide immediate financial assistance to Suffolk students facing sudden emergencies or unforeseen circumstances. Whether it's a medical crisis, loss of income, housing instability, or an unexpected expense, these funds ensure that a short-term challenge doesn’t become a long-term barrier to completing their education.
When you give to a Hardship Fund, you’re doing more than donating—you’re giving a student the chance to stay in school, stay focused, and stay hopeful.

Fellowships
Fellowships offer students hands-on learning experiences in their field of study, often including professional training and mentorship. These programs provide stipends, allowing students to gain real-world experience while focusing on their education and career development.
These opportunities are made possible by corporations, community organizations, and individual donors who provide stipends for structured learning programs. Whether on-site or remote, fellowships equip students with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in their fields.

Academic Program Enhancements
Academic program enhancements provide students with experiences that go beyond the textbook—bringing education to life through hands-on, real-world opportunities.
Generous partners, like Riverhead Building Supply, have made it possible to upgrade stage equipment for the Ammerman Campus theater and supply materials for student-built performance sets. Whether it's tools for a lab, technology for a classroom, or resources for a creative space, these gifts help students engage deeply with their fields of study.
Each enhancement can be tailored to reflect your interests while aligning with specific academic programs—creating a direct and lasting connection between your generosity and student success.
