Give the Gift of Education this Holiday Season
If you've been struggling with finding the perfect gift for that certain someone, that hard-to-shop-for relative, that “I’m not happy with any gift you give me” person, then College of the Canyons may have the answer to your dilemma. This holiday season, the College of the Canyons Alumni Association and Friends has designed a non-traditional gift that will keep on giving the gift of education.
The program is simple. Anyone can set up a scholarship through the COC Foundation to honor a friend, relative, family or business. For example, Jonathan R. Hickman, a local attorney at Hickman Law Offices, gave a gift of education to honor his employee Carol Higgins. Hickman also has established the Hickman Business Scholarship. Students can apply for these scholarships through the College of the Canyons Scholarship Office.
The procedure to set up a scholarship fund is simple. Any amount can be donated to a scholarship fund and if the scholarship fund is to bear a particular name, a $200 minimum donation is required. All donors will receive personalized certificates, suitable for framing, which can be presented to the person being honored during holiday time.
Donations made now will be used for scholarships that will be awarded to applicants in the spring of 2003. All donations are tax-deductible.
Donation cards are available at the College of the Canyons Foundation office and may be obtained by calling (661) 362-3435.
