In 1985, community
voters chose to establish Collin County Community College District as the
higher education institution in the county. They envisioned an institution
that would strengthen the educational and economic environment for all
residents.
The Collin College Foundation, Inc. was established in 1987. Since
its formation, literally thousands of students have received Foundation
scholarships. In 2008-2009 the Foundation awarded over $375,000 in
scholarships to students and the college. But the need continues to grow every
year. The number of students applying for scholarships
increased from 2007-2008. Over 700 applications have been received for 2009-2010, which is an increase of 24% from 2008-2009. |
