Paradise Valley Community College

For more than 30 years, Paradise Valley Community College (PVCC) has offered quality educational programs for our community. Whether the goal is to prepare to transfer to the university, enter the workforce or to simply continue your lifelong learning, PVCC is the right place to start. While learning is our core value, our mission hits a deeper cord of solving problems and creating opportunity. Many of our students lack the resources to achieve a college education and are oftentimes the first in their families to attend college, juggling taking care of their families and working, while also attending classes. Your support impacts these students directly and opens doors, brightening futures, changing lives and realizing dreams!

“It’s a very humbling time for us for sure.  We used to not ask for help and then when my husband had cancer, we had no choice but to ask for help.  The scholarship helped our family and myself.  When I graduate, It’s going to be amazing, it’s going to be a dream come true.”
