Organised by Broome Community College Foundation IncThe SUNY Broome Student Giving Campaign raises funds to support the Student Giving Peer Scholarship. Each year up to four SUNY Broome students are awarded this $500 scholarship to help offset the cost of their higher education!
Thank you! We did it!
With $1,573.38 raised through the hard work of the Student Philanthropy Council (SPC) members and Presidential Honors Scholarship (PHS) volunteers during the last academic year, a record five Student Giving Peer to Peer Scholarships were awarded. While four students received the scholarship in 2023-2024, an additional student could be assisted this year.
The council and volunteers fundraised through bake sales, basket raffles, and fundraisers at local restaurants.
“It probably doesn’t seem like a big deal that you came out to a bake sale and picked up goodies for you and your friends or gave a few dollars towards an opportunity to win a raffle-basket. However, the little things really do add up quickly. We have a great caring community that shows up for the efforts of our student volunteers and for the financial needs of students,” said Lisa Schappert, SUNY Broome Foundation Senior Director of Development & Alumni Relations.

Each year, through the efforts of SUNY Broome's students, funds are raised through the Student Giving Campaign which supports the $500 Student Giving Peer Scholarship. In 2022, we raised $2,000 and were able to award this scholarship to four students.
When a student receives a scholarship, they are able to move forward with their degree without as much of a financial burden. Please consider helping us help our fellow students!
