Bronx Community College is one of 25 community colleges across the country to receive a $20,000 award from the PATH Scholarship program. PATH (Progress, Accomplishment, Thriving and Hope) gives funds to institutions that deliver financial support to students experiencing economic hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is funded by Ellucian, which provides software and related services to institutions of higher education.

“BCC thanks Ellucian for helping our students meet their financial needs during this time of crisis,” says President Thomas A. Isekenegbe. “Their determination joined with Ellucian’s generosity are a powerful collaboration for academic success.”

Ellucian has pledged an initial $1 million to the scholarship fund and distributed $500,000 to community and technical colleges across the United States in November. For more information, visit https://www.ellucian.com/path
