Future Connect

Future Connect An initiative to reduce college barriers for first-generation/low-income PCC students through scholarships, career guidance and personal advising.

The Future Connect Scholarship Program is an initiative to eliminate barriers to attending college while providing on-going support to help students once they get to Portland Community College. We create pathways to the future through scholarship money, career guidance and personal advising. Our scholarship program is sponsored by The City of Portland, The City of Beaverrton, The City of Hillsboro

, Columbia County and the PCC Foundation. Future Connect is open to first-generation and/or low-income students who will have a high school diploma or GED within Multnomah County, the Hillsboro School District, the Beaverton School District or Columbia County by the end of the year and will be attending PCC.

🚨 Update: We Reached Our Goal! 🚨

Thank you to everyone who has already shared, donated, and helped spread the word. Because of your generosity, we’ve reached our Big Give Day goal for Future Connect! 💛

Your support helps provide emergency grants for Future Connect students who are navigating unexpected challenges — from housing instability and transportation issues to food insecurity and other barriers that can interrupt their education. These grants help students stay enrolled and continue working toward their goals.

✨ There’s still time to make an even bigger impact.
Giving is open until 11:59 PM tonight, and you can still support Future Connect or any of the incredible programs across the college.

Grant-funded programs like ours are never guaranteed long-term funding, so every additional gift , no matter the size, helps sustain this work and support students when they need it most.

If you’re able, please consider:
