Northeast Iowa Community College Foundation

Support NICC Students. Strengthen Our Communities.

At Northeast Iowa Community College, students are working toward something bigger: a degree, a career, and a brighter future for themselves and their families.

Many are balancing work, family, clinicals, athletics, and financial pressures while continuing their education. Scholarships help ease those pressures so students can stay enrolled, focus on learning, and keep moving toward graduation.

When people come together, gifts of all sizes add up quickly. Your support can help:

• • Keep a student enrolled when unexpected expenses arise
  • Reduce financial stress so a student can focus on learning
  • Support the next nurse, welder, technician, or first responder, or community leader in our region

Behind every scholarship is a student working toward graduation while balancing the realities of everyday life. Each journey looks different, but scholarship support helps a student stay focused on their goals and continue moving forward.

Students like Kyleigh.

Kyleigh's journey to graduation didn't happen overnight. At NICC, she worked her way from CNA to LPN to RN, balancing school, clinicals and work experiences along the way. Now, she’s beginning her career as a registered nurse in her home community. Scholarships helped make that journey possible. 

"Because of scholarships, I could focus on learning, not just getting by."

Students like Hannah.

Hannah, a nursing student who graduated this spring, balanced two jobs while staying close to home to support her family.  Scholarships helped her stay focused and reach graduation. 

"I’m ready for what’s next, because someone like you gave."






Students like Kael.

Kael came to NICC to pursue a degree and compete as a student-athlete. Scholarships allowed him to balance school, goals, and his future. 

"Scholarships gave me the freedom to pursue both my education and my passion," Kael shared. 

Students like Olivia.

Olivia graduated this May from NICC’s Respiratory Care program with more than 1,000 clinical hours and a full-time position already secured. Living two hours from campus, she faced significant travel costs on top of paying for her education. Scholarships gave her the financial relief and peace of mind to stay focused. 

"Between tuition and travel, I didn't know how I'd make it work. Scholarships made it possible."

You see the impact of education every day.  In your workplace, your community, and your neighbors.

Today, you can help a student keep going.

Give now to support an NICC student, and help open the door to opportunity.
