2018-2019 Report to the Community

We catalyze community support to advance the mission, work, and impact of Colleges. We engage our community to transform lives, promote equity, and increase access to quality, affordable education in Seattle.

Our Impact Thanks to the Seattle Colleges, Myron Curry is having a second act. As a young man, he got into trouble and wound up in prison. He resolved that, once out, he would turn his life around. Now he’s doing just that as a student at Seattle Central, majoring in IT Networking. He hopes to one day open his own business. But the College has also nurtured another side of Myron: artist. As you can see from the self-portrait at right, he’s brimming with talent — so much so that he was recently featured in a show at the College’s M. Rosetta Hunter Art Gallery. Myron’s success wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of donors who support the Desmond Jackson Memorial Scholarship and other scholarships that benefit him and hundreds of other hard- striving students at the Seattle Colleges — Central, North, and South. Thank you! © 2019 by M. Curry Designs

By the Numbers

Seattle Colleges is an open-access institution. We recognize that significant gaps in educational attainment persist for first-generation students, students of color, and students from more modest economic backgrounds. Your contributions remove financial barriers to college enrollment and reduce student debt.
