Dollars Raised for Scholars

North Passport 2009 Destination: Northwest

Saturday evening April 25, 2009 the College held its 7th annual fundraising event to benefit student scholarship and support services at North Seattle Community College. The campus Cafeteria, Baxter Student Center and Espresso Lounge were converted for the evening into a fine dining hall and reception lobby.

This signature event brought the following to the College:

1. 160+ NSCC people donated their time in community service to the College’s Education Fund, event organizer. Education Fund scholarship recipients, international students, College & District staff worked 3 volunteer shifts over the course of 24 hours.
2. 200+ attendees came to campus to learn more about NSCC & Education Fund’s prime directive to help students and support services. It was an overflow crowd.
3. So impressed were attendees and sponsors that a gross total of $145,000 was given towards re-filling the Education Fund ‘bank’ for awarding 2009-2010 scholarships and support.

All North Passport 2009 net proceeds directly benefit the Education Fund’s main mission to provide student scholarships, emergency assistance and funding to access faculty/staff professional development programs not covered by public dollars.
