The Greene County Cares Fund

An Ongoing Partnership between the Greene County Legislature and the Columbia-Greene Community College Foundation

New paths to college degrees, professional certificates, and personal development have been forged for Greene County residents through the creation of the Greene County Cares Fund.

The Greene County Cares Fund launched on August 17, 2020 following approval of a resolution by the Greene County Legislature directing $181,600 to the Columbia-Greene Community College Foundation. Since then, the funding has provided annual scholarship assistance to Greene County students seeking to enroll in credit and/or non-credit classes during the academic year.

• Greene Light to Enrollment Fund, providing tuition support for recent Greene County high school graduates and non-traditional students seeking to earn a degree or certificate;
• Emergency Transportation Fund, helping students who need travel assistance get from Greene County to the campus by providing gas cards, E-Z Passes, bus fare, and cab fare, and

Greene County residents interested in scholarship assistance through the Greene Light to Enrollment Fund are encouraged to find more information on the Columbia-Greene Community College website.
