Empowering Students, Embracing Equity
Championing Student Success Through Equity
Atlantic Cape Community College is committed to significantly increasing student access and success while addressing the racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities in college attainment.
An equity-minded institution is one that demonstrates the commitment, capabilities, and experiences to serve low-income students, students of color and other at-risk student populations with respect to access, success and campus climate. An equity-minded institution also demonstrates that same commitment to provide opportunity for all employees, creating a culture of respect and opportunity.
“At Atlantic Cape Community College, championing the success of every student and ensuring equity, are at the core of our decision making and are foundational to the College’s mission and vision. We are committed to creating opportunities for all of our students by removing barriers that may stand in their way and to be successful through the intentional re-design of the college experience. We continue to be an institution of higher learning that values everyone and ensures that each individual experiences a genuine sense of belonging.”
Atlantic Cape is committed to supporting our communities and celebrating their diversity through various community outreach programs, such as free ESL programs, resource fairs, cultural and educational events, holiday food and gift drives, and more. 
The Atlantic Cape Foundation is dedicated to bettering the college experience for all students through scholarships, emergency funding and program support. Each year the Foundation awards thousands of dollars in scholarships to hundreds of deserving students as they pursue their academic and career goals.
