Changing Lives Building Futures


Where Potential Meets Opportunity Our students, more than 250,000 a year, come to the Maricopa Community Colleges with needs, hopes, aspirations and amazing potential. Today’s rapidly changing, knowledge-based economy demands specialized skills. We provide students with the opportunity to gain these skills with affordable, accessible high quality programs. With 10 strategically located colleges, two skill centers and multiple satellite centers, the Maricopa Community Colleges are ideally positioned to meet our region’s higher education needs. The Maricopa Community Colleges Foundation helps our students take advantage of educational opportunities and achieve their potential. We do this by actively seeking individual, corporate and foundation gifts that support scholarships, teaching excellence and student success. A gift to education is an investment in the future of our students and our community. High educational attainment is closely linked to increased personal income, decreased crime, the community’s ability to attract and retain new businesses and other measures of community health. The Maricopa County Community College District has long been one of Arizona’s largest providers of healthcare education, university transfer education, workforce development, occupational education and general and continuing education services. Your investment in the Maricopa Community Colleges Foundation and in students like Ryan Ayala, Kendra Francia and Joseph Jenneford not only changes lives but enriches our community.
