The Charter Oak State College Foundation Mission is to make higher education a possibility for all, to help eliminate gender and racial inequities, reduce wage and poverty gaps and to ultimately, enrich the lives of students, graduates, children, the workforce, and our communities.
The Charter Oak State College Foundation supports Charter Oak students, with scholarships, grants, degree completion funding, and more. The Foundation believes that college degree completion is a catalyst for improving economic and career mobility. It is committed to help students reduce reliance on student loan debt. Together with our donors, we make dreams of degree completion more attainable.
Financial awards are made possible by our generous donors, alumni, faculty, staff, community members, and business partners combined with the endowment fund interest earnings.
Join us as every gift makes a difference in the lives of our students!

Leave a Legacy: Make an Impact That Endures. Establish and Endowed Scholarship.
Are you interested in making a difference that will be remembered for generations?
Establishing a legacy endowment fund is a powerful way to create a permanent scholarship that transforms lives and builds a brighter future.
An endowment gift to the COSC Foundation is held in perpetuity and invested to provide ongoing support—helping students achieve their dreams for years to come. With a minimum contribution of $10,000, you can establish a named scholarship fund to honor or remember loved ones, celebrate your achievements, or support a cause close to your heart.
Your generosity can break down barriers to higher education, open doors to economic opportunity, and light the path to success for our graduates, their families, and impact our communities for generations!
Let's begin with a simple conversation.
Please contact Carol Hall, Executive Director, Charter Oak State College Foundation via phone or email: chall@charteroak.edu | 860.515.3889.
