NORTHWEST STATE COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOUNDATION PRESENTS $1,182,805 CHECK TO BOARD OF TRUSTEES
The Northwest State Community College Board of Trustees met in regular session on Thursday, June 25th at the Archbold campus. After roll call, Robbin Wilcox, NSCC Executive Director for Development & NSCC Foundation, and Foundation Board Chair Peter Beck presented the Board with a check in the amount of $1,182,805. This eclipses last year’s impressive mark, which was $1,051,000. The money is designated for student scholarships, equipment, outreach programs and student support efforts.
Over $10 million has been provided through the generosity of businesses and individuals who have supported the Foundation over the past ten years. Peter Beck, NSCC Foundation Board Chair, applauded the generosity of individuals and businesses who have donated to the NSCC Foundation, for helping make this presentation possible. Beck also praised Robbin Wilcox for her tireless efforts to raise needed funds for Northwest State scholarships and strategic initiatives. The NSCC Foundation awarded over $1,000,000 in scholarships at the spring 2026 Scholarship Awards Ceremony.
Another highlight of the Board meeting was the passage of the FY 2026-2027 budget. The total budget is just north of $50M, which represents an increase of approximately $3M from FY 2025-2026. As part of the approved FY27 budget, the College will begin the process of migrating to a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform. NSCC President Dr. Todd Hernandez noted, “The new budget allocates funds for strategic initiatives that will continue to allow Northwest State Community College to elevate northwest Ohio through increased education, training and services.”
