Erie County Community College

"Doing something bigger than myself, yet good... that's the effect of a community college."

Joyce Ranvikar Kulyk, an early and proud supporter of EC3, has been taking classes since the college first opened. By taking one or two classes each session, Joyce has found not only personal enrichment but also a deeper connection to her community through learning.

Stories like Joyce’s are made possible because of the generosity of people like you. Your support opens doors for EC3 students to access education, pursue their dreams, and thrive whether it’s earning a degree, completing a certificate, or gaining skills for a better future.

At EC3, we’re committed to empowering dynamic, diverse learners to improve their quality of life and help drive Erie County’s economic growth through affordable, innovative education and workforce training.

When you give to EC3, your donation directly impacts students through funds like:

• The General Fund – supporting the greatest needs of our students and college.

• The Student Emergency Fund – providing critical help when unexpected challenges arise.

• The Scholarship Fund – assisting with tuition, books, and fees.

Thank you for believing in the power of education and for supporting a brighter, stronger future for all of Erie County.
