Sussex County Community College has been providing quality education for over 31 years by offering degrees and certificates in a wide variety of career fields and continues its tradition of high academic standards.
Skylanders’ Athletics has made a significant impact on enrollment and retention, with 13% of current students as members of the athletic program. Some students would not choose to attend college without the opportunity to play sports.

Funding is needed to offset expenses for regional team travel. Sussex is currently a member of the National Junior College Athletic Association Region XIX (for two year colleges in NJ, DE and Eastern PA), and the Garden State Athletic Conference. In addition, funds are needed to support overnight trips for each team, along with Baseball and Softball spring training trips to Myrtle Beach.
