Opportunity Starts Here

The Atlantic Cape Capital & Scholarship Campaign is a collaborative fundraising effort between the College and the Atlantic Cape Foundation in support of two college-based initiatives:

1. To secure the future of the scholarship endowment, offer legacy opportunities through named scholarships, and increase both the number and the dollar value of the scholarships awarded annually to needy students.
2. To furnish and equip classrooms and laboratories in a new state-of-the-art, 24,000 square-foot Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Building on the Mays Landing campus. The STEM building facilities will support curriculum in the life and physical sciences including biology, chemistry, physics and computer science.

An investment in Atlantic Cape creates opportunity for many, empowers the local economy of Atlantic and Cape May Counties, and will pay dividends for years to come.
