ABOUT THE NASHVILLE STATE COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOUNDATION

The Nashville State Community College Foundation was established in 1994 as a nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization and operates for the sole benefit and support of Nashville State Community College and its students. Through the generous support of alumni, community friends, corporations, and private foundations, the Foundation works to expand access to higher education and further regional workforce development. By raising funds for scholarships, program and infrastructure improvements, and grants for faculty and staff that enhance student learning opportunities, the Foundation strives to ensure that resources are available to meet the needs of both students and our rapidly growing local economy.

MISSION

The Nashville State Community College Foundation’s work — to provide quality education, remove financial barriers, and empower students at Nashville State to achieve their dreams for a brighter future — is in service of the College’s mission to provide comprehensive educational programs and partnerships, exemplary services, an accessible, progressive learning environment, and responsible leadership to improve the quality of life for the community we serve.

Our ultimate goal is to ensure that every student who enrolls at Nashville State has access to a comprehensive system of supportive resources that removes all potential barriers (financial and otherwise) to the completion of a degree or certificate program. By making the dream of attending and completing college a reality for Nashville State students, we provide those students a means of increasing their career potential, household income, and quality of life while also producing a skilled and talented workforce to meet Middle Tennessee’s economic needs.
