Pennsylvania Highlands Community College Foundation is committed to raising
funds that provide significant assistance to the College and its students. The
Foundation continues to build assets through work that includes augmenting the
number of endowed scholarships available to our students, identifying grant
opportunities that align with the College’s strategic plan, and increasing giving in
our annual campaign. The Board believes that these strategies will establish the
Pennsylvania Highlands Foundation as a leader in providing improved and
enhanced educational opportunities throughout the Southern Alleghenies.
The Foundation acts as the administrator of the Educa-
tional Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program operat-
ed by the College. In 2016-2017, the Foundation re-
ceived $18,750 in EITC donations from local businesses.
These contributions support the Accelerated College
Education (ACE) program, allowing high school stu-
dents to earn college credits in advance of their high
school graduation. EITC contributions allow the cost of
the courses to be reduced, making this an affordable
opportunity for students to experience college level
classes while still in the high school classroom. The ACE
program operates in more than 50 partnering school
districts serving over 1,200 students across Pennsylvania
and is accredited by the National Alliance of Concur-
rent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP). Such innovative
educational programs are just one of the benefits that
a community college can provide to local students.
The Pennsylvania Highlands Community College Foundation continues to grow achieving over $1.1 million in
assets at the end of the 2016-17 fiscal year. These assets were garnered through annual campaign donations,
special fundraising events, and the continual development of scholarship funds. As of the June 30, 2017
preliminary unaudited financial statements, the approximate total assets of the Foundation are $1,151,582
and total support and revenue generated in the fiscal year is $255,456.
The Foundation has completed its annual campaign for this fiscal year and is pleased to report more than
$40,000 raised. This year’s pledges and donations were received from local businesses, community residents,
faculty, staff, and board members.
In the 2016-2017 academic year, $33,396 in funds were
awarded to 80 deserving students who met the
guidelines of the scholarships administered by the
Foundation. The Foundation currently manages 22
scholarships, with over 50% of these scholarships created
in the past 6 years as the Foundation continues to build
relationships with individuals and businesses within our
region. The Foundation brought in $18,499 in scholarship
funding in 2016-2017. As the number of funds have
increased over the past few years and will continue to do
so through growth at our regional locations, the
Foundation and College have implemented an online
scholarship management system to better organize,
track, award, and market all scholarships.
The Pennsylvania Highlands College Employee Supported
Scholarship was established through the governance
structure by the College Senate on October 27, 2016.
Employees donate to this scholarship through a monthly
“Jeans Day” donation along with directed donations in
the annual campaign. Through their generosity, the first
recipient of the scholarship will be awarded in the fall of
2017.
The Foundation hosted two fundraising events this year, generating nearly $20,000. These events brought a
diverse group of more than 250 individuals to the College’s Richland Campus. The Foundation strives to keep
the costs low for attendees to allow for more
community, employee, and alumni participation.
The proceeds from our 2016 Corks & Kegs event
was used for the creation of the Kathy Holtzman
Memorial Scholarship. As a former Cambria
County Commissioner and member of the
College’s Board of Trustees, Ms. Holtzman was an
integral part in the development of the
community college from its inception through the
20th anniversary. In association with Kathy’s
family, the Foundation created an endowed
scholarship in her memory to recognize her
support of educational opportunities for all
members of our community.
Penn Highlands is proud to host the only One Book One Community program in the area. The Foundation
works with coordinator, Dr. Barbara Zaborowski, the College’s Dean of Learning Resources, to locate funding
for this project. More than 1,200 middle school students, teachers,
and parents participated in the 2017 program centered around the
book “The King of Mulberry Street” by Donna Jo Napoli. The students
participated in educational sessions including a reenactment of
entering Ellis Island, life in a tenement, learning about the Statue of
Liberty, making ice cream, decorating eggs, playing dominos, and
a performance from the Johnstown Youth Symphony. The program
has learning outcomes each year centered on the program’s
theme, relation to Pennsylvania history, and world events. A
significant amount of the $3,810 in donations received were made by College employees and the College
itself donated the use of its building and the volunteer time of over 40 College employees.
