Programs & Activities

Program 1

$1.3M

The sbcc foundation provided over $1.3 million in direct student support, in the form of scholarships and books grants, to more than 1100 students in the 2023-2024 academic year. For many students, this support can mean the difference between dropping out of college and successfully completing a degree, certificate, or transfer program. The sbcc foundation also continued to fund important student support programs that serve single-parent students, underprepared high school graduates, and those recently released from the criminal justice system who are starting college. According to the college futures foundation, scholarships also have a positive impact on student matriculation rates.

Program 2

$2.5M

The sbcc foundation created the sbcc promise in 2016, to make our community's college accessible and affordable to all recent local high school graduates. The sbcc promise offers two years of comprehensive support (covering all required fees, books and supplies) to any local student who enrolls full time at sbcc in the fall or spring semester following the completion of their secondary education within the sbcc district. In the 2023-2024 academic year, more than 1,800 sbcc promise students were enrolled. Research on college achievement correlates a student's chance of success with early enrollment, full-time student status, and access to academic counseling and support. The sbcc promise includes all of these elements, providing $2.2 million in support to sbcc promise students in the 2023-2024 academic year.
