About

The 2020-2021 Community Report is now available, click here to view.

The Nash Community College Foundation, Inc. was established in 1983 to increase community awareness, raise funds for the student scholarship program, and to help meet the needs of Nash Community College. These resources ensure that deserving students have the financial capability to take advantage of the quality instruction and higher educational opportunities the College provides.

Though the College’s tuition is considered to be reasonable, scholarships are critical to helping many students who wish to attend college but have very limited resources. Nash Community College receives hundreds of scholarship applications each year but is only able to assist a limited number of students. As the cost of education continues to rise, more scholarships are needed to truly make the difference in helping students reach their personal and professional goals.

The Nash Community College Foundation, Inc. is a tax-exempt, nonprofit organization as described in section 501(c) (3) of the IRS Code for 1984 as amended. The Foundation’s tax identification number is 58-1587982. All or a portion of your gift may be tax deductible as allowed by current tax laws. As required by law, the Foundation maintains exclusive control over the contribution. If you have questions about your gift’s designation or would like to learn more about the services that Nash Community College and the NCC Foundation are committed to providing, please call (252) 451-8440.
