Phoenix College Fundraising Priorities
Britt's Bears
Britt’s Bears helps former foster youth defy statistics and overcome hurdles by providing coaching and mentoring, alongside social and cultural experiences, with peers and coaches. Because where we start in life should not determine how far we can go.
Bumstead's Resource Room
An alarming number of students struggle to purchase food and supplies, which has a direct impact on their well-being and success. Providing essential support needed to fully engage in learning is the best way to ensure successful completion.
Early College Access
Early College Programs like Dual Enrollment, ACE and Hoop of Learning offer substantial benefits, helping ease the transition from high school to college and increasing academic confidence for students, and reducing the financial burden on families.
Emergency Support Stipends
Emergency Support Stipends provide stipends to students who face emergencies or unforeseen circumstances such as unexpected job loss, emergency medical expenses, housing crises, transportation issues, or sudden family emergencies, which might otherwise lead students to drop-out or stop-out of college.
Esports
Esports Teams provide students with a range of skills and
experiences that contribute to improved teamwork and
collaboration, critical thinking, communication and time-
management skills, vital to academic and professional success.
Osos del Valle - Mariachi Ensemble
Performing in a musical ensemble can be costly, which limits access for students who wish to join the ensemble but do not have the financial resources to do so. Allow students to
experience the Osos del Valle, which lifts the soul and leaves
an indelible mark on our hearts.
Phoenix Promise
The Phoenix Promise Program is a commitment to Phoenix high school students to make college affordable and attainable. The program supports eligible Phoenix high school graduates with demonstrated financial needs and who do not receive Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) funds or other scholarships sufficient to cover the full cost of attending community college.
Other Opportunities

“My advice to anyone who has put their dreams on hold because they don’t think they can afford college, or they think they don’t have the resources to be successful, think again! PC empowered me with scholarships and financial aid to help me successfully complete my degree in Organizational Management and Human Resources.”
