When I received the Foundation scholarship, it was a huge burden lifted off of me and my family, knowing that I could pursue my education and not have to put anything else on the back burner.

How We Use Your Gifts

Gifts to Brightpoint's Greatest Need provides critical resources to meet the changing needs of Brightpoint students and the college. From grants that support faculty initiatives to student assistance funds, your gift ensures the Brightpoint Community College Foundation is able to quickly pivot to address needs as they arise.
The Brightpoint Community College Foundation provides funding for a number of college and student programs that ensure student success. Initiatives include facility improvements and equipment needs for academic programs, faculty innovation projects, emergency funding for students, tutoring and academic support services, and so much more.
Scholarships are a cornerstone of the Brightpoint Community College Foundation and provide a pathway for students to access high-quality, affordable education at Brightpoint. Annual and endowed scholarships are awarded based on a variety of criteria and are both need- and merit-based.

Annual scholarships can be established with an initial commitment of $2,500 which can be fulfilled over two years.

Endowed scholarships can be established with a commitment of $30,000 which can be fulfilled over five years. Additional gifts to endowed scholarships of any amount are welcomed.
Gifts to our General Endowment and the William H. Talley III Endowment for Workforce Development provide student funding in perpetuity. We gratefully accept gifts of any amount to these funds.

As of July 1, 2021, the Foundation will apply a one-time 4 percent administrative fee to all restricted gifts with the exception of gifts to endowed funds.

The Impact of Giving

Whether a Brightpoint student continues with their education at a four-year university or launches into a new career, the Brightpoint experience has prepared that student for success—and your gifts make that possible! We thank you for supporting our college.
