Established in 1967, the College of DuPage Foundation is a not-for-profit organization that raises and administers the funds that support critical programs and services at College of DuPage, including scholarship assistance.
With an annual commitment of more than $100,000, the Foundation awards 80 $2,000 scholarships each year and 30 textbook scholarships per quarter, while administering 157 scholarships that are privately funded by individuals, businesses, foundations and community organizations.
The Foundation is committed to increasing scholarship opportunities to meet the increasing needs of its growing community. Recently the Foundation completed a campaign to raise $5 million in support of program development, student scholarships, technology and equipment, faculty and staff development, and arts and cultural enrichment.
This commitment would not be possible without the generosity and involvement of the community itself. As the Foundation grows, this partnership with local philanthropists becomes even more crucial to our success.
The Foundation Board is composed of 24 civic and business leaders representing 50 communities served by Community College District 502. With $5 million in assets, the Foundation is having a significant impact on meeting college needs.
Gifts and inquiries from individuals, their representatives, brokers, legal counsel or others are welcome at any time. Foundation staff works closely with the Financial Aid and Admissions offices to administer all scholarship gifts and endowments.
