SPRING into action for students today!  

The Winter Semester has come to a close, and it has been another exciting and challenging academic year at Schoolcraft. Excited and joyful students walked across the Commencement stage. Many have entered into their spring/summer classes to get ahead for next fall.
Take a minute to look at this picture from Commencement. What a beautiful example of the feelings of accomplishment and pride when a student succeeds in completing their education. Many of these students would not have made it to that stage or their next class if it wasn't for your support of the Schoolcraft College Foundation.

Your annual gifts make these moments possible. Our collective support of Schoolcraft means every donation, no matter the size, impacts students' lives. Whether you are a dedicated, long-time donor or if you've never made a gift - we welcome you to join us and make your difference at Schoolcraft today!
