Giving to the Annual Fund is an easy and convenient way to support students with needs outside their tuition and fees.
The annual fund drive supports the Doc Watson Student Emergency Fund, GED & HiSet Scholarship, WCC Food Pantry, WCC SkillsUSA, and WCC Student Clubs/Activities. Donations for unrestricted dollars are always welcome.
Donations are crucial to the success of the Annual Fund Drive. Every gift counts! Please consider making a gift that has meaning to you!
