Foundation for Seminole State College
The Foundation for Seminole State College is committed to changing lives. By assisting Seminole State College through program support and scholarships, the Foundation and our generous community of donors can truly make a difference for students and in our community. In a recent Revealing Institutional Strengths and Challenges (RISC) survey produced by Percontor, the top two challenges that community college students say impede their academic success are work (34%) and paying expenses (34%). We are here to make a difference by helping students cross these barriers and GO Far!
