Creating Student Opportunity

We create opportunity by growing scholarships that make college affordable for more students and their families. Over the past five years, the MVCC Foundation has given out more than $1.5 million in scholarships, helping nearly 2,500 students who otherwise might not be able to afford a college education.

Revitalizing Our Economy

We revitalize our economy by helping the region become more economically competitive, expanding our capacity to train the workforce of tomorrow. Through our programs at MVCC’s thINCubator, we believe that entrepreneurs are key to remaking, reshaping, and regrowing the upstate economy, helping the Mohawk Valley overcome economic challenges.

Educational Excellence 

The Educational Excellence Fund keeps MVCC ahead of the curve and enhances our agility and responsiveness to changing community needs. MVCC’s Airframe and Powerplant Technology Program is a great example. The program strives to be a leading institution for aviation maintenance technology education by focusing on the needs of the student, community, and employer.

Breaking Barriers

We break barriers by extending education's reach to increasingly diverse, challenged populations. Since its inception, the Foundation’s Emergency Relief Fund has helped 407 students continue their education with nearly $300,000 in loans, providing opportunities for college success to people who never thought they'd have the chance.
