Plattsburgh N.Y. – The New York State Federation of Home Bureaus has established a $10,000 endowed scholarship at Clinton Community College (CCC) in honor of Donna Fountain, a proud alumna from the class of 1974, the college announced today.

NYS Federation of Home Bureaus has long been committed to supporting higher education through its Scholarship Program since 1921. Over the years, members have shown increasing enthusiasm for contributing to scholarships, raising funds through various initiatives such as fundraisers, donations, memorials, and In Honor cards. The generosity of Home Bureaus members across the state has made larger contributions like this possible.

“We are deeply grateful for this endowed scholarship in Donna Fountain’s name, and we are honored that Clinton Community College has been selected,” said Steven Frederick, Vice President for Institutional Advancement at CCC. “This scholarship will have a lasting impact on our students for years to come.”

Currently, 105 endowments have been placed in more than 45 colleges across New York State through the NYS Federation of Home Bureaus. The fields of study supported by these scholarships have expanded over time to reflect the diverse career paths available to today’s students, both men and women.
