The SCC Educational Foundation's mission is to boldly support the vitality and growth of SCC, empowering the students, staff, and broader communities it serves by creating a legacy of educational opportunities that foster economic enrichment and shared benefits for all.
The largest recent grant on file is $5,860,191 to Southeast Community College in Lincoln, followed by a $771,256 capital-and-projects grant to the same institution. That pattern points to a foundation that funds SCC directly at institutional scale, with support concentrated on the college’s core operations and physical or programmatic needs rather than a wide external portfolio. The Southeast Community College Educational Foundation’s work is tied to the college’s mission of expanding educational opportunity, with giving that supports scholarships, facilities, student emergency aid, endowments, program support, workforce training, and noncredit course scholarships. Two active scholarship programs also show how the foundation serves students. Its general scholarship program is administered through one application for more than $3 million in scholarships, and a second grant-supported scholarship track is aimed at SCC students who meet specific criteria or are enrolled in designated programs. The foundation also makes program-related investments, which adds another tool beyond standard grantmaking. With all grants in Nebraska and all recent recipients in Lincoln, its profile is distinctly local and college-centered.
Scholarship support is central to the foundation’s work. The active SCC Educational Foundation Scholarships program is a general scholarship program for SCC students, and it uses one application to consider students for more than $3 million in scholarships. A second active track, Other Financial Opportunities, supports grant-funded scholarship programs for students who meet specific criteria or are enrolled in designated programs. Beyond student aid, the foundation funds the college’s physical and institutional needs. A recent $771,256 grant was designated for capital and projects at Southeast Community College in Lincoln. The foundation also supports programmatic aims through its stated focus on program support and workforce training, which aligns with its emphasis on higher education access, career training, and student success.
The typical grant size is large: the 25th percentile is $2,043,490, the median is $3,315,724, and the 75th percentile is $4,587,957. Recent grants appear to be recurring rather than one-off, with Southeast Community College receiving both major grants listed in the recent data. The foundation also operates scholarship programs that accept unsolicited applications, including the general SCC Educational Foundation Scholarships program and Other Financial Opportunities. It makes program-related investments in addition to grants.
