Bellevue College Foundation

Mission

The Bellevue College Foundation empowers students to achieve their dreams by removing barriers to education and fostering innovation. Through scholarships, grants, and transformative programs, we ensure that every student has the opportunity to succeed, thrive, and lead in a changing world.

Description

We are Bellevue College, a vibrant community of learners, educators, alumni, and supporters united by a shared vision: education should be accessible to all. Your generosity fuels scholarships that relieve financial burdens, funds programs that spark innovation, and strengthens resources that keep students on track, even during times of uncertainty.

When you give, you do more than donate, you change lives. You help a single parent return to college, a first-generation student pursue a degree, and a future nurse, designer, or technologist gain the skills to serve our community. Together, we create pathways to success and ensure that no student is left behind.

Your support makes possible:

• Scholarships: Over 40 scholarships for students in nursing, IT, interior design, and more, plus awards for those with high financial need or returning to education.
• Student-Centered Programs: From Autism Spectrum Navigators to the Early Learning Center and Science & Math Institute, your gift sustains programs that transform lives.
• Mini-Grants: Innovative projects like scenario-based medical training and advanced technology tools for classrooms.
• Margin of Excellence Awards: Recognizing faculty and staff who go above and beyond for student success.
• Greatest Needs Fund: Meeting urgent challenges and seizing opportunities—like sending students to national competitions or supporting those impacted by crises.
