About Us

The SCWCC Foundation supports nontraditional women students by providing life-changing opportunities through academic scholarships for programs such as the Karen Possehl Women’s Endowment at UCCS and the SCWCC Foundation Scholarship at Pikes Peak State College and a new “trade” scholarship. We believe that every woman should have the opportunity to achieve her potential by overcoming barriers to success, complete a degree and establish a career that enables her to become self-sufficient. Additionally, the Foundation values giving back to the community and hosts workshops that introduce the experience and expectations of nonprofit board service.

The SCWCC Foundation is a 501(c)(3) and accepts tax-deductible corporate and private donations. The Foundation conducts several fundraisers annually, and you are invited to support our efforts with a donation. For additional information, email the Foundation at info@scwccfoundation.com and visit our Facebook page.
