SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES AT INDIAN HILLS COMMUNITY COLLEGE INTRODUCTION The mission of the Indian Hills Community College Foundation is to build a thriving culture of philanthropy that supports student learning and sustains the position of the College as a leader and innovator. In each academic school year, hundreds of scholarships are awarded, either through a general fund or a named scholarship. The Indian Hills Foundation General Fund Scholarship provides an annual $600 award, while individual named scholarships can provide an annual award of $600 up to payment for tuition, fees, books, room & board. At Indian Hills, we believe in helping students. The administration, faculty and staff take pride in our high graduation rates and the successes of our graduates. In 2016-17, ninety-three percent of Indian Hills’ full-time employees gave to the scholarship fund. Annually, more than half volunteer their time in helping to raise funds to support scholarships. ESTABLISHING A SCHOLARSHIP Individuals and businesses can easily establish a named scholarship. The Indian Hills Community College Foundation offers a variety of options: • A minimum initial gift of $12,000 is needed to establish a perpetual (endowed) scholarship. • A minimum gift of $600 can be donated to fund an annual scholarship. • Potential donors might choose to include the Indian Hills Foundation in their Wills or list the Foundation as a full or partial beneficiary on a life insurance policy or a retirement account. • The value of your gift can be increased if your employer has a matching gift program—check with your employer’s personnel office.
