Charter Oak State College’s Foundation Board members are very committed to raising funds for grants for our adult students facing financial difficulties who need and aspire to earn a degree. The Foundation Board members believe that the College changes and saves lives.

COSC provided the opportunity, the means and guidance for me to realize a lifelong dream of earning a college degree. I will be forever grateful. Janet Szalwinski

I cannot say enough about the support and encouragement that I received from the staff at COSC.  I recommend your program all the time! Deidre Moutanho

After dropping out of high schoool at age 16, I never thought that I would have a degree of any kind, much less a college degree. At age 30, I passed the GED Exam.  At age 51, I was extremely proud to wear the cap and gown having earned my Associate degree.  Although financial difficulties have not allowed me to complete my Bachelor’s degree, I am committed to doing so.  I could not have gotten this far without Charter Oak State College. Thank you Charter Oak, for helping to make one of life’s dreams possible. Mary Johnson

As I have stated before, there is no doubt that the COSC staff is the best. Robert Smith
