SC4 Foundation Scholarship Funds
St. Clair County Community College has improved the lives of thousands of students and positively impacted the thumb coast of Michigan and far beyond for more than 95 years. Since its founding in 1963, the SC4 Foundation has played a key role in that success, contributing hundreds of thousands of dollars to students and the college, enhancing the learning experience for all students.
