The Penguin Fund

Dear Clark College Supporter,

Did you know that in the past three academic years Clark College has increased its enrollment size almost 23 percent and financial aid requests by nearly 50 percent?  We managed this without turning away students.

With only half of the college’s funding from government sources, private support such as your donations is critical.  With your help we can accommodate the growing demand on our enrollment and facilities.

Gifts of every size make it possible for us to serve our students, who in turn go on to benefit the greater community.  Students like Christina Jensen.  Her goal is to become a pediatric oncology nurse after seeing first-hand the quality of care she received during her own health challenges.  She can realize these goals thanks to a strong beginning at Clark College, outstanding faculty support, numerous scholarships, and a lot of determination.  Read more of Christina’s story in our upcoming PARTNERS Newsletter and learn how private funding is helping her succeed.

We can continue to support students, like Christina, because your gifts make academic goals achievable. Will you support student success and program excellence at Clark College with a tax-deductible gift of $100 or more?

Thank you for joining us in making Clark College successful in serving the educational needs of our community.  On behalf of our students, faculty and staff, we wish you the happiest of holidays.

Keith Koplan, Chair, Board of Directors
Lisa Gibert, President/CEO

P.S. We welcome your gift in honor or memory of a beloved parent, child, friend or teacher, and you may designate it to your favorite area of need at Clark College.
