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!
