Ventura College Foundation

The foundation also provided funding to the Ventura College Basic Needs Program including its two food pantries, and the Jordana Ybarra-Telias Emergency Grant Program.

The grant will fund the conversion of course textbooks into zero-cost digital formats and contribute to a lending library for equipment.

The foundation helps provide students with the resources they need to complete their academic goals, and ultimately achieve their dreams.

November 29 is the application deadline for the Paramedic and Career Education scholarships. The deadline for all other scholarships is January 20, 2025.

One of the new board members is Dr. Claudia Lourido-Habib, president of Ventura College, who began her tenure at the college earlier this month.

Of the 230 scholarship recipients, many received multiple scholarships.

Since the foundation's inception, it's raised over $48 million to benefit Ventura College students and programs.

The deadline for application submissions is January 21, 2024.

The gala will celebrate the successes of Ventura College students and the decades of board leadership and dedicated donors.

The new foundation board chair is Nicole Kreutz, vice president, senior portfolio manager at Montecito Bank & Trust.
