The Charter Oak State College Foundation, Inc. was founded September 15, 1977 as the Connecticut Open Learning Assistance Corporation. As the College changed its name, so did the Foundation. In October 1983, it became Charter Oak College Foundation, Inc. and in July, 1992, it took its current name as the Charter Oak State College Foundation, Inc. The Foundation is exempt from tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Even in this economic downturn, the Charter Oak State College Foundation Board of Directors is committed to allocating additional funds for grants for disadvantaged students. We understand that working adults with families need the financial assistance now more than ever in order to earn their degree. And, as faculty, we hear the students’ success stories that prove our efforts are helping to make their dream possible.
Dr. Sandra Morgan, COSC Faculty and Representative to the Foundation Board
