Clark College Foundation has been chosen as the sole finalist for the Excellence in Collaboration Award from the Nonprofit Network Southwest Washington. NNSW usually names more than one organization per award category, but Clark’s project stood above the other entries.
In 2012, Clark College Foundation, Clark College and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southwest Washington launched a Penguin Promise Scholarship program to help some Boys & Girls Club members attend Clark College. The first student will enter Clark in 2015. More than $1 million has been raised for the scholarship program.
The awards ceremony is Sept. 11 at Heathman Lodge in Vancouver.
