For 43 years, Bergen Community College has played a significant role in providing necessary educational opportunities for the residents of this community. Each year, approximately 30,000 students enroll in credit-bearing and/or continuing education courses. Since 1970, Bergen Community College has granted degrees and certificates to over 33,000 graduates.  Twenty percent of the annual operational budget for the college is state and county funded. The balance is raised through tuition, student fees, grants, student aid and private fundraising initiatives coordinated by the Bergen Community College Foundation.

Our ability to sustain and enhance the scope of services provided to the residents of this community is dependent upon contributions from private sources.

Through private fundraising efforts, the Bergen Community College Foundation strives to:
- Enhance student support including tuition, scholarship and book allocation
- Support faculty development and student programs
- Bridge the gap between limited government funding and those resources critical to the college.

Without private funding, the scope of services provided would be sharply reduced. Call the Bergen Community College Foundation today at 201-447-7117 to find out how you can help to support higher education in Bergen County!
