Support student success through the Cecil College Foundation. Learn how donations, scholarships, and partnerships help expand access to education and strengthen our community impact.

The Annual Fund

Cecil College means many things to many people, including opportunity, advancement and success for our students and our community. Whether completing a degree, earning a professional certification or learning a skill that will accelerate a student’s career, education improves everyone and everything.

Thanks to the generosity of many supporters, the Cecil College Foundation was able to provide scholarships to more than 300 students taking credit and certification courses last year. Those students will transfer to four-year programs to earn a bachelor’s degree, use their skills to obtain gainful employment and become leaders in our community.​

Please support student success by donating to the Annual Fund.​

Cecil College Cares Cards

Our colleagues throughout Cecil College have been sharing stories of hunger and food insecurity from our credit and Continuing Education and Workforce Development students.

In response to increased hunger and food insecurity throughout our college community, the Cecil College Foundation is asking for monetary donations to purchase gift cards to Walmart. We are currently unable to accept food donations.

Your donation of any amount will be used to purchase cards and ensure the only thing our students are hungry for is education. Donate today!

If you have any questions or would like more information, contact us by email at foundation@nullcecil.edu.

The Foundation has many scholarships that are incredibly easy to apply for. The Foundation scholarships took away financial stress allowing me to focus on my schooling. I think everyone should apply.

Take Your Seat!

For more than 30 years, the Milburn Stone Theatre has created high-quality, accessible community theatre for audiences across Cecil County and the tri-state region. Now, with support from donors and friends, we have the opportunity to enhance the patron experience with new seating, a refreshed auditorium, improved lighting, and upgraded lobby, concessions, and restroom areas.

Milburn Stone Theatre and the Cecil College Foundation join together to support this campaign as we improve the patron experience for years to come in this unique venue in the heart of Cecil County.

The seating is arranged in a semicircular formation, and the rows are elevated as they move away from the stage, allowing clear views for all attendees. The seats are upholstered in blue fabric with wooden armrests and are flanked by narrow aisles with metal railings. The walls are painted in a neutral tone, and overhead, there are round, recessed lights providing illumination. Along the back wall, there is a row of tall windows near the ceiling.
