Please have your ticket ready when you arrive to make entry seamless. We are so excited you will be joining our celebration!

The Bronx Community College (BCC) Foundation Scholarship Gala is the College’s leading fundraising event in support of BCC students. It attracts approximately 300 industry leaders, educators, entrepreneurs, government officials, community partners and a host of friends and supporters.
The primary goal of the Gala is to raise funds which provide direct scholarship support to deserving BCC students – 42% of whom come from households with and annual income of $15,000 or less.
BCC Foundation scholarships support students with the greatest financial needs to stay in school, graduate and put them on the path to transforming their lives and that of their families.
