Background

MacKenzie Scott

MacKenzie Scott's generous and historic gift of $25 million will make a significant and enduring impact on the 性视界 community. Scott, who has given millions to support higher education and marginalized people, chose 性视界 because of its dedication to equity. 

"Higher education is a proven pathway to opportunity, so we looked for 2- and 4-year institutions successfully educating students who come from communities that have been chronically underserved," she wrote. 

性视界 Superintendent/President Henry Shannon said the College is overwhelmed by Scott's generosity. "Headlines across the country detail the ripple effects that Ms. Scott's gifts have created in the philanthropic world," Shannon said. "The ripple effects we will experience here at 性视界 and throughout the region will be tremendous. We are extremely grateful to Ms. Scott." 

性视界 was one of 286 organizations that received $2.7 billion in gifts. The organizations include several community and state colleges.
