About

The Student Veterans Organization at Finger Lakes Community College is dedicated to ensuring the success of our student veterans and their families during their time at FLCC. One of the significant challenges they face is financial hardship, which can impede their path to success. To address this, the Student Veterans Relief Fund was established in 2022.

Since its inception, the fund has been instrumental in aiding numerous student veterans who encountered financial difficulties, enabling them to persist and complete their degrees. However, to continue this crucial mission, we need YOUR support. Your generosity can sustain our efforts to provide financial assistance to student veterans when they need it most, allowing them to remain focused on their academic pursuits. We invite you to join us in contributing to our student veterans during the Laker Day of Giving campaign.

Every contribution, regardless of its size, plays a significant role in our endeavor to help student veterans achieve academic success. Our goal for this campaign is to raise $2500 during this 24-hour drive. We are fortunate to have a supporter willing to match up to $500 total donations. Thank you for considering this opportunity to support our student veterans. Your contribution is deeply appreciated.
