Westmoreland County Community College Educational Foundation: Helping Students Succeed
Established in 1986, the Westmoreland County Community College Educational Foundation is dedicated to the mission, vision and values of Westmoreland through community awareness, advocacy and financial support for our college and the community we serve.
Future leaders, taxpayers, parents and residents of our region can be found right now walking the halls of our college, sitting in the classrooms and developing their futures.
Many of Westmoreland's students (97%) can be expected to stay right here at home, building a strong and vibrant regional economy. Our students are the future of Westmoreland, Fayette and Indiana counties.
Student Support
Westmoreland County Community College creates a bridge connecting ambitious learners with careers that will allow them to achieve economic stability and mobility. The Educational Foundation serves to enhance the student experience by providing scholarships, advancing campus facilities and equipment, and reducing obstacles that may impact our student's ability to complete their studies.
In the 2023-2024, the Educational Foundation has raised over $1,500,000 to support our students. By providing scholarships and philanthropic funding for student services and programming, we support Westmoreland's mission to improve the quality of life in the communities we serve through education, training and cultural enrichment.
None of this impact would be possible without our generous donors. These visionary individuals, foundations and corporations share our commitment to making Westmoreland a premier institution of higher learning focused on student success, workforce development, economic growth and cultural experiences.
