The Waubonsee Community College Foundation will host its 37^th annual golf outing fundraiser on Monday, September 16, 2024, beginning at 10:30 a.m. at the Aurora Country Club. Proceeds from this event benefit the Waubonsee Foundation Scholarship Program.

The Waubonsee Community College Foundation will host its fourth annual Walk, Run and WIN with Waubonsee 5K/10K on Saturday, June 1, 2024, at 9:00 a.m. on the Sugar Grove Campus.

I first became acquainted with Waubonsee Community College after my wife Doreen and I moved to the area in the late 80s. Over the years, my family has attended many lectures, community events, and even taken courses at Waubonsee. 

One of the most disappointing stories you can hear is that of a student who has had to delay or forego their education altogether due to a lack of resources. In some cases, these students may have not known about the scholarships available through the Waubonsee Foundation or may have just not taken the steps needed to learn about and complete the application process.

Thanks to our very generous and loyal donors, the Foundation has provided 405 scholarship awards totaling over $378,000 to 346 recipients for the 2019-2020 academic year.

Making dreams come true. That's what we do at Waubonsee Community College. Many students come here looking for an education that will lead to a satisfying career. Others come for college credit they can transfer to a four-year college or university. Still others come to develop a specific job skill, to improve their ability to speak and write the English language, to continue the process of lifelong learning, or simply to obtain help in deciding their future path. By offering classes that meet a wide variety of learner needs, Waubonsee is helping community members fulfill their educational and career dreams.
