Ventura College Promise
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, nearly $4.1 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 starting in 2022 and the future of state funding is still on shaky ground.
To ensure that our pioneering program meets its financial commitment for the 2022-23 academic year, the VC Foundation is committed to raise gap funding for the VC Promise.

"The VC Promise Grant does a great job. They cover the cost of per unit enrollment fee, the health fee, the student center fee and student representative fee for eligible students. I’m really thankful to all the donors who donate to the Ventura College Foundation. You guys have really impacted my career, my life.”
