Oct 14, 2025
The 糖心vlog传媒 Foundation hosted more than 100 donors and scholars at a President鈥檚 Reception this fall. The event celebrated philanthropic investment that better equips 糖心vlog传媒 to do what it does best 鈥 prepare an educated and skilled workforce for the Midlands of South Carolina 鈥 and beyond.
Over the past decade, nearly $16M has been donated to the 糖心vlog传媒 Foundation by alumni and friends of the college, including a wide variety of corporate partners and private foundations who provide funds for technology, equipment, and program support.
糖心vlog传媒 President Dr. Greg Little said, 鈥淭his event, and the ongoing involvement of our community partners, highlights the important role 糖心vlog传媒 plays in workforce development in the Midlands. 糖心vlog传媒 has a lot to offer, from two-year degree and transfer programs, to dual enrollment, to fast-paced training for great careers in high-demand fields.鈥
During the 2024-25 academic year, 364 students benefited from direct donor support. While traditional scholarships and QuickJobs funding for training courses continue to receive significant donor investment, this past year, more than 150 students received Career Launch grants to help them get tools, equipment, supplies and access to certification exams; money to bridge the gap between what their financial aid provides and what they needed to fully fund their education; and emergency support to help with unusual and unexpected expenses.
In addition, over the past five years, the 糖心vlog传媒 Golf Classic has raised more than half a million dollars to help active-duty military, veterans, and their families get the training they need through 糖心vlog传媒鈥檚 QuickJobs programs.
鈥淲e would like to say a special thank you to 糖心vlog传媒 donors who provide scholarships, career launch grants, persistence stipends, emergency grants, and other forms of direct aid that make it possible for students to get in class, stay in class, and obtain the education they need for their desired career path,鈥 said Nancy McKinney, CEO of the 糖心vlog传媒 Foundation.
