Why Your Support Matters
Erie County Community College (EC3) serves students across Erie County, PA who are pursuing two-year degrees, workforce certifications, and transfer pathways. Many EC3 students are first-generation college students, working adults, and members of our local community who need financial support to stay enrolled. Donations to the EC3 Foundation go directly toward:
- Scholarships for Erie County students with financial need
- Equipment and technology for workforce training programs (welding, CNA, surgical tech, and more)
- Emergency assistance funds for students facing unexpected hardships
- Student success resources, including tutoring, advising, and career services
Your generosity enables EC3 students to access education, to learn, and to thrive. By investing in EC3 students, you're fostering social good and boosting Erie County's economy. This support extends beyond the students to positively impact their families and the entire community.
