Getting Started

There are a number of ways for students at Ventura College to receive support towards the pursuit of their educational and career goals. The Ventura College Foundation backs several programs that are designed to provide both direct and indirect support for Ventura College students. These programs include the Textbook & Equipment Lending Library, the VC Promise, Veterans Emergency Grants, and an array of scholarships.

Scholarships

More than 400 scholarships are available to Ventura College students who would benefit from the financial support and are ready and able to achieve their goals.

Textbook & Equipment Support

The Ventura College Foundation's Textbook & Equipment Lending Program is a partnership with Ventura College's Library and gives students the opportunity to check out textbooks and equipment such as Chrome Books, mobile hotspots, graphing calculators, and webcams to use for an entire semester, at no cost to them.

VC Promise

VC Promise establishes a statewide Promise program that waives tuition fees for qualified first-year community college students who can now attend two consecutive school years at Ventura College tuition-free.

Veterans Emergency Grants

The Jordana Ybarra-Telias Emergency Grant program provides emergency mini-grants for veteran students to help pay for such expenses as medical bills, rent, utilities, and car repairs. The goal is to not let a financial emergency prevent veterans from focusing on their studies.
