Keep the Music Going!
At Ventura College, we believe that no student should be denied a musical education for want of funds. With nearly 90 percent of our students typically eligible for financial assistance, every gift helps us to secure the resources required to meet the needs of our young artists. Our students are deeply grateful for this support, and our community members continually tell us how much they appreciate the role Ventura College and its students play in Ventura's thriving arts landscape.
The Ventura College Foundation Music Fund
Please consider making a donation to the VC Foundation Music Fund to support our many deserving young musicians. Gifts in any amount are gratefully welcomed. These gifts support our music scholarship funds, and enable concerts, operas, musicals, and other programs that are a vital part of promoting Ventura's homegrown talent. You can donate online, or via text message (text "VCMusic" to 41444).
A Named Scholarship
Donors may establish scholarships in their name or in honor or memory of someone special. Named scholarships at Ventura College are funded on an annual basis or can be permanently endowed to create a lasting legacy that will support talented young artists for generations to come.
