Chancellor’s Circle Society members are made up of an exceptional group of individuals who have built a legacy of support helping students advance and thrive for more than 20 years. The Society was created in 2002, by several dedicated and astounding community members who came together wanting to make an impactful difference in the lives of students. Since its inception, close to 1 million dollars has been raised from annual membership donations, for deserving students, enabling them to overcome financial barriers and embark on their academic journeys with confidence.

Highlights from this year's Annual Celebration on October 19, 2023, at Fresno City College's New First Responders Campus.

There are two types of membership in the Society including Individual Membership or Business Membership. As a member, you’re provided exclusive on-campus experiences, you’ll have the unique opportunities to go-behind-the-scene on tours of our college campuses, and personally meet and build relationships with the Chancellor, the presidents of our colleges, faculty, and administrators as well as to observe and speak with students about their educational goals . As a business or company in the Chancellor’s Circle Society, you’ll have first-hand access to students and faculty within your particular business field giving you an excellent pool of students for internships and training opportunities.

Annual membership donation of $1,000 helps to provide scholarships, campus improvements, and state-of-the-art educational tools for students. Through the support of the Chancellor’s Circle Society annual membership contributions, State Center Community College Foundation is able to provide $15,000 yearly to students attending Fresno City College, Clovis Community College, Reedley College, Madera Community College, and Madera Community College at Oakhurst through the Chancellor’s Circle Scholarships.
