Yuba College Foundation Scholarships:

Scholarships are an excellent way to assist in funding your education. These scholarship opportunities are typically one-time-only, so plan on continuing your research for scholarships each year. They may be awarded based on academic performance, community service, residency, and/or other criteria as defined by the founder or donor of the scholarship. The YCCD Foundation Scholarship Program is administered by the Yuba Community College District Foundation. Foundation scholarships are made possible through generous donations from community organizations, corporations, and individual donors.

Candidates are selected per the scholarship requirements by the donors.  Each scholarship will focus on specific areas such as academic achievement, financial need, personal strengths, honors and awards, leadership, and commitment to giving back to the community.

All completed eligible applications are evaluated by different Yuba College Scholarship Committees.

Authorization:

By submitting an application, you (the student) are authorizing the various departments or committees at the college to access grade and course completion information. You also authorize the college to publicize information about the awarding of scholarship(s). Additionally, you may be required to write a thank-you letter to the donor, attend a scholarship recipient reception, and/or take a photo to be used for publicity purposes.

Scholarship recipients are notified by via the scholarship portal once the screening process for scholarships has occurred.

Scholarship monies are released during the following fall and or spring term upon verification of enrollment and any other required criteria.  Please note that if the student is not meeting all of the requirements of eligibility at the time of disbursement we will not release the monies.

The number and award amount of scholarships are for general information purposes only and should not be considered a guarantee of what you will receive if selected. Actual award amounts vary based on students’ individual eligibility, funds available, and other factors.

With the exception of transfer scholarships, all scholarships are for enrollment at Yuba College; they cannot be used at other community colleges or universities (unless specifically noted as a transfer scholarship to a four-year institution). Failure to enroll, meet all eligibility requirements, or dropping all classes after enrollment nullifies eligibility and award funds may be required to be repaid to the Foundation Office or donor.
