Scholarships

The Foundation seeks to provide students with sufficient scholarships to ensure that no Solano County resident is denied access to at least an Associate Degree because of financial need. Endowments provide Solano College with predictable and assured sources of financial assistance that guarantee economic access to higher education for those who may be economically disadvantaged.

Scholarships are managed by both the Solano College Scholarship Foundation and Financial Aid.

A donation of $3,000 establishes and endowed Scholar award providing faculty with the opportunity to reward students with partial scholarships in recognition of their academic achievement. $500 annual endowed scholarships can be established with a $10,000 commitment and the pledge can be paid over several years. You as a donor designate the name of the scholarship and its qualifications.
