The Sandhills Legacy

Founded in 1969, the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Foundation, Inc. was the first community college foundation in North Carolina. The Foundation ensures that donated funds are invested wisely and disbursed in ways that contribute to the ongoing excellence of Â鶹ÊÓƵ.

Since 1963, when Mrs. Mary Luman Meyer gave the gift of 250 acres of land on Airport Road in Southern Pines, which created Â鶹ÊÓƵ, the college has been blessed and enriched by the private support of its students, programs, facilities, and capital needs. During the past four decades, Sandhills has achieved a level of excellence rare among American colleges, which has been made possible through the truly remarkable level of private support the college has received.

The Â鶹ÊÓƵ Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with Federal Tax Id Number 56-0946799.

Thank you so much for this great recognition. It has meant so much to me. You are a part of my support team. This scholarship has allowed me to concentrate more on my academics. I am excited to graduate with my Associate in Applied Science in Civil Engineering and Geomatics Technologies. Your generosity has not gone unnoticed as it is reflected in my achievements and, also, being a part of three clubs on campus. Thank you, again, for kind-hearted generosity.
