Making an IMPACT Today

What is the ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIP APPEAL?

The Annual Scholarship Appeal is South Plains College's highest priority for annual giving. It is a means by which SPC alumni, parents and friends can most effectively contribute their financial support to make an impact in the lives of current and future SPC students. Your impact scholarship contribution is used exclusively to support today's students.

What does YOUR GIFT SUPPORT?

Your gift to the Annual Appeal is used to provide scholarships for students. At least 50 percent of new students are the first in their families to attend college, and more than 49 percent are considered economically disadvantaged. More than 60 percent of all SPC students seek financial assistance each semester to attend college, and more than 75 percent work full-time or part-time while attending SPC. With a fall enrollment of nearly 9,000 students, the number of students needing financial assistance continues to grow.

While the cost to attend SPC is very affordable -- averaging $2,500 for tuition and fees each semester -- many SPC students struggle to make ends meet. Impact scholarships for tuition and fees allow students to direct their limited financial resources to books, supplies, transportation and childcare costs associated with going to school. A $1,000 impact scholarship makes a significant difference in the success of these students.

How your GIFT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

In fiscal year 2021, alumni, parents and friends of the College contributed more than $1.7 million in endowed and non-endowed funds to the Annual Appeal. As a result of your continued generosity, the South Plains College Foundation will award more than $1.2 million in scholarships to SPC students for the 2021-22 academic year.
