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 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.For additional information, call Norbert Tan, Executive Director of the Ventura College Foundation at (805) 654-6461.
