Faculty & Staff Payroll Giving

As employees of the District we see our students struggle with the costs of tuition, textbooks, living expenses, childcare, and more in order to accomplish their academic goals. Financial support through payroll donations from faculty and staff members across the District is vital in helping our students succeed.
