NCCC Foundation

Scholarship Soirée 2023

Since 1987, the NCCC Foundation has been committed to supporting students. Join us for a special evening at the NCCC Foundation Scholarship Soirée, celebrating the talent of our culinary students and the impressive legacy of NCCC students, alumni, faculty, and community spanning over 60 years.

Attending our soirée means directly supporting student scholarship funds, fostering success and opportunity. As we invest in our students’ futures, we pave the path for their achievements. Secure your ticket or table now to join this impactful event and create a meaningful impact in students’ lives.

Without this scholarship I would not have been able to attend NCCC for the fall semester. I am a single mom with a four-year-old which means the world to me . I want to create a better life for her and the only way to do this is to attend your college for the surgical technology program. I love attending NCCC and appreciate the scholarship support!"
