Giving to CCV

There are many meaningful ways to support CCV and our students. While CCV continues to be Vermont's most affordable college, many students can only pursue their education if they have considerable financial assistance.

We invite you to join us in supporting our students and the ability to access quality higher education in their local communities by making your tax-deductible gift today.

You may donate online by visiting our secure form, or by sending a check made payable to CCV.

Funds that Support CCV


The Annual Fund
This fund supports the overall mission of CCV by providing unrestricted
resources for a variety of
operational needs and projects,
as well as new initiatives.

Endowment for Student Success
This fund supports deserving students
whose chances of success can
be strengthened by aid and
whose needs are not met by other
sources.

General Scholarship Fund
Every dollar given to this non-endowed
fund goes directly to tuition assistance for
students.

Student Assistance Fund
From fixing a tire so a student can get to class, to buying a much-needed textbook, every dollar to this fund provides direct support to students. This fund is used to assist students at each CCV location to meet compelling and urgent financial needs.

Study Abroad Fund
Gifts to this fund help students access the life-changing experience of travel through CCV’s Study Abroad Program. Help students develop a fuller and more diverse perspective of their studies and the world, cultivate cultural competency, and enhance career opportunities. These gifts directly reduce course fees involved with studying abroad.
