The Isabella Altano Scholarship fund provides tuition to students and aspiring artists at Bergen Community College. Mrs. Isabella Altano, an alumnus, former teacher, artist, and home chef, passed away in 2018. Known for her talent and warm personality, Mrs. Altano believed the arts represented an essential part of life, spending her own time painting, photographing and restoring furniture among many interests. Her paintings and photography appeared in galleries across the United States as well as internationally in Austria and Italy. The Altano family – her husband Brian, a longtime Bergen professor, and three children, of Ridgewood – endowed the scholarship.
The Bergen Community College Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, independent of Bergen Community College and governed by a community-based board of directors, works closely with the College president and trustees to set goals and objectives. As the College’s primary fundraising institution, the foundation builds partnerships between Bergen and the community to help advance the priorities of the College’s strategic plan to create transformative student learning experiences and to build on its greatest strengths and areas of greatest potential impact.
