An investment in the strength of our community
|
“I am the first in my family to go to college.”
“I want to set an example for my children.”
“I am inspired to give back to my community.”
“You have my heartfelt gratitude for recognizing me and my long-term potential…”
“I have always dreamed of becoming a nurse...”
These are just a few phrases taken from thank you letters sent by recipients of scholarships at Daytona State College. Their journeys have been made possible by the generosity of people in our community like YOU!
The people who create scholarships are just like you, like your neighbors, like your co-workers…people who have made the decision that making a gift to Daytona State College will be an investment in the strength of our community.
One of the easiest ways to give is through a “planned gift”. It’s as easy as including the DSC Foundation in your will or trust, as a beneficiary on your retirement account or on an insurance policy. Many of our scholarships were set up in this way. Leaving just a part of your estate to Daytona State College Foundation is truly rewarding and will mean that students will have the opportunity to attend college and pursue their dreams.
If you are interested in finding out more about making dreams come true, call or write to Sue Durgy, Director of Development, (386) 506-3110
