VC PROMISE CAMPAIGN
THE IMPACT OF A PROMISE
Ventura College was the first community college in California to offer a tuition Promise Program with the support of public and private donors to the Ventura College Foundation.
Since its inception in 2007, more than $4 million in tuition costs have been covered.
VC Promise’s success served as a model for the creation of the statewide California College Promise Program in 2017. The state program aimed to enable Ventura College to cover tuition and fees for eligible incoming first-year, first-time, full-time students for up to two years at VC, until this academic year.
State budget cuts caused a shortfall in Promise funding in 2022 and future state funding is on shaky ground.
To ensure that our pioneering program meets its financial commitment for the 2022-23 academic year, the VC Foundation will launch a fundraising campaign for the VC Promise on March 1st, with the goal of raising:
$40,000 by April 30th
INVEST IN THE FUTURES OF VC STUDENTS TODAY
Investing into the futures of hardworking VC students will:
- Remove financial barriers
- Increase access to a quality education
- Eliminate equity gaps in academic achievement
- Empower students to succeed & achieve their dreams
"The Ventura College Promise was a huge contributing factor when it came to me being able to afford attending Ventura College. Without it, I don't know how I would have paid for college."
- Daisy Castillo, VC Alumni & VC Foundation VC Promise, Textbook & Scholarship Recipient
