The South Seattle Community College Foundation is comprised of business and community leaders who generously contribute their time and resources to enrich lives, build hope and provide opportunities to fulfill dreams. Since 1981, the South Seattle Community College Foundation has taken a leadership role in seeking private support to maintain standards of excellence at South.
Over the past 26 years the Foundation has led several projects to benefit the college, including, building a six-acre arboretum to serve as an outdoor classroom for students in the Landscape Horticulture Program, it completed a capital campaign to provide the Culinary Arts Program with a state-of-the-art Culinary complex and each year it awards over 100 scholarships to students who attend South. The Foundation is currently in the process of launching a new 13th year scholarship program to give all students from a selected high school the opportunity to attend college tuition-free for one year.
