The WCC Scholarship Foundation
The Wytheville Community College Scholarship Foundation, Inc. was established in 1998. It is a non-profit, charitable organization whose sole purpose is to provide scholarship awards to economically-disadvantaged students who qualify for assistance according to federal poverty guidelines recognized by the Department of Social Services' Neighborhood Assistance Program. The Scholarship Foundation is guided by a board of directors consisting of recognized business and community leaders from throughout the college's service region.
The Scholarship Foundation applies annually for state tax credits through the Neighborhood Assistance Program and when credits are received, the Scholarship Foundation is able to offer these credits to donors. Businesses that contribute a minimum of $1,000 qualify for a 40 percent state tax credit, and individual donors who contribute between $500 and $1,666 also qualify for a 40 percent state tax credit.
