“I came to the United States from Cape Verde and enrolled at CCRI as an international student to major in General Studies. I did not qualify for in-state tuition. The tournament scholarship made it possible for me to get my education and pursue my dream of becoming an accountant.”
-Deborah Fortes ’05

“I was born in Thailand and grew up in a rough section of Providence. I was the only one of my friends to attend college. The tournament scholarship made a difference in my life by helping to keep me in school and to earn my associate degree in dental hygiene.”
-Sovann Khiv ’06

CCRI Fall Golf & Tennis Classic

Hosted by Warwick Country Club
September 22, 2008

President's Welcome

On behalf of the Community College of Rhode Island, thank you for your generous support of the CCRI Fall Golf and Tennis Classic. All of the funds generated by this tournament will be used to provide scholarship assistance to students at CCRI. During these challenging economic times, students at CCRI are facing difficult choices every day; whether to put gas in the car to get to work or paying for tuition and books. More than ever, your support is needed to help students from all walks of life attain a college education and a chance for a better life. Below find testimonials from two students who have benefited from scholarships provided through this tournament. We appreciate your support in keeping the dream alive! Enjoy the day.


Sincerely,
Ray Di Pasquale
President
