Focusing on Student Impact

Maximizing impact through a gift funding the Greatest Need

Students at Cypress College experience various challenges affecting their academic success. They often suffer from food insecurity, unexpected unemployment, child care and elder care hardships, homelessness, mental health issues, and many other barriers to their success. Sometimes students simply need funds to purchase a book or even diapers. Oftentimes our most successful students need a little help just to stay in school and remove the everyday stressors that prevent them from continuing their college journey.

A gift to serve the Foundation’s Greatest Needs is the most impactful way to provide flexibility when funding programs to support student’s everyday necessities. Funds often offer Emergency Assistance in the form of grants or loans and fill the gap for student scholarships helping students who might not otherwise receive an award.

Making a lifetime impact through a Cypress College Foundation Legacy Society Endowment

Your gift will ensure that students will receive scholarship awards in perpetuity, recognizing your commitment to the college beyond your lifetime.

Your Legacy Society Endowment will grow through the Foundation investment portfolio with earnings used to support students through scholarships or any other pre-determined programmatic purpose. You can add to the endowment each year, further growing its impact on students. When you provide scholarships for students, they not only receive the monetary support, but also are further encouraged through the knowledge that someone believes in them and their success. Donors and scholarship recipients both also benefit from the Scholarship Awards Ceremony. You and your student recipient will both be recognized and have the opportunity to meet and discuss the impact of the scholarship.
