125 STUDENTS RECEIVE
VENTURA COLLEGE FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIPS!
VENTURA: 125 students were awarded $188,000 in scholarships by the Ventura College Foundation at the Twentieth Annual Scholarship Reception and Dinner on May 03 at the Crowne Plaza Ventura Beach Hotel. Dr. John Woolley, Ventura College vice president emeritus served as Master of Ceremonies, and Dr. Robin Calote, Ventura College president, Tom Anthony, Chair of the Board of Directors of the Ventura College Foundation, and Norbert Tan, Executive Director of the Ventura College Foundation welcomed the awardees, contributors, families, faculty and staff in attendance at the event.
Ventura College Foundation scholarships are designed to reward continuing and transferring Ventura College students for academic excellence. The awards are made possible by donations from faculty, staff, alumni, and friends of the College and generally range from $250 - $9,000 per academic year. The donors set criteria for all scholarships. In addition to much needed dollars for deserving students, scholarships provide encouragement and acknowledgment of students’ determination to make positive changes in their lives. The Foundation disseminates more than $350,000 annually in scholarships to Ventura College students.
The Ventura College Foundation is the host of the Market Place – a farmer’s market and vendor site that operates each Saturday and Sunday on the Ventura College campus on Telegraph Road in Ventura. The Market Place is a link between the college and the community, and proceeds from this weekly event bring funds to the college and its students. Vendors pay a modest fee to display their items for sale. These funds are used for student scholarships, staff innovation grants, and many other projects undertaken by the Ventura College Foundation. The Market Place covers all its own costs, as well as the operating costs of the Ventura College Foundation.
