HELP DREAMS BECOME REALITY
The Ventura College Foundation was initially established for the purpose of raising funds for student scholarships. While our focus has expanded over the years, we continue to support our students through our scholarship program.
Approximately 63% of Ventura College students each year are classified as low- to extremely low -income. Scholarships are a great way to ease the financial burden many of our students carry as they pursue their education and/or career. Establish a scholarship and become part of an ever-growing group of donors making a difference in our student's lives.
