Alumni Giving Campaign
Together We Give - Launching The Next 50 Years
November 9th - 23rd
Join your former classmates and make a difference!
Please consider making a gift, whether you can give a little or a lot, to the Inver Hills Community College Alumni Scholarship Fund. The demand for scholarships continues to grow, and your gift makes it possible for students to start or continue on their educational journey and achieve their dreams.
“By awarding me the Alumni Scholarship, you have alleviated my financial burden, which allows me to focus on my studies. Your generosity inspired me to help others and contribute to the community. I hope one day that I will be able to help students reach their goals in higher education by assisting them in the same you are helping me,” Fall 2020 Alumni Scholarship Recipient.
Double your impact-we have matching funds available for the first $250 received. And all donors who make a gift over $30 will be entered to win a $25 Cub gift card or a $20 Gertens gift card.
To donate by check, please make your check out to the Inver Hills Foundation and mail to:
Inver Hills Community College Foundation

Alumni appeal
Dedicated to the power and promise of education, Inver Hills inspires students, builds careers and strengthens communities, but the college needs your help. We are proud to report that alumni giving grew the Alumni Association Endowed Scholarship Fund to more than $140,000 in the last ten years. The fund is now regularly awarding scholarships each fall and spring semesters. We encourage you to consider giving a tax deductible donation to support this important scholarship fund and help more students each term.
