MxCC Foundation

The purpose of the MxCC Foundation, Inc., a 501 (c) 3 organization incorporated in Connecticut is threefold:

To support the College and its students by receiving, managing, and distributing funds for scholarships and other educational purposes,

To generate and strengthen communication and collaboration between the College and Foundation and business, industry, professional, civic, and educational leaders in the communities served by the College – Middlesex County, Meriden, and Wallingford, and

To advise the President with respect to educational programs.

Removing the financial obstacles that bar students' access to education is the Foundation's driving force. Scholarships address not only the growing need for financial assistance, but also the perennial wish to celebrate achievement.

Financial assistance is critical for about 85% of MxCC students as they work toward their educational and career goals. For the 2005 - 2006 academic year, the Foundation awarded about 60 scholarships in the range from $500 to $1,000 each. The Foundation and scholarship recipients have individuals, civic organizations, alumni, businesses, faculty, and student organizations to thank for these scholarships. Donors establish scholarships to honor the memory and achievements of family, faculty or friends, to express their appreciation for their educational experiences at MxCC, or because they believe in the importance of individuals having access to the quality education offered at the College. In addition, the Foundation organizes a Golf Tournament in collaboration with the College, and a Road Race to support scholarships and other educational programs.
