Although I already knew that being a race car driver would be my path in life, I felt I needed a good educational foundation. NCC gave me the flexibility to pursue my racing dreams while choosing courses that complemented my interests. Attending NCC helped give me the confidence to make important career decisions as I progressed through the ranks as a driver and ultimately as a race team owner.

50 Years of Alumni Impact

For 50 years, the NCC Alumni Association has supported student success while strengthening our community. Thanks to the dedication of alumni and friends, the Association has raised more than $500,000 for scholarships and programs that open doors for students.

Where Your Gift Goes

Your contribution directly strengthens resources that help NCC students learn and succeed. When you make a donation to NCC, you can designate one of the areas of support below.

Spartan Aid: Many NCC students struggle to make ends meet. Spartan Aid provides financial support to students for essential needs like paying rent, buying food, and receiving health care.

Campus Food Pantries: Food insecurity can impact students from all walks of life. NCC's three food pantries, one on each campus, allow students to acquire non-perishable food and wellness items for free.

Scholarships: Although NCC offers some of the most affordable tuition rates in Pennsylvania, many students do not have the financial resources to attend college. Scholarships expand access to affordable education.

Or, simply designate Where College Need Is Greatest. Every dollar helps students overcome obstacles, continue their education, and become graduates who strengthen our communities.
