SCHOLARSHIPS

Continuing/Returning Scholarship Application Deadline is May 31

The OC Foundation awards over $250,000 in scholarship grants to Oxnard College recipients every year.

Join us on OC Foundation Fridays with our workshops - offered both in-person and via Zoom. Students may sign up through our Linktree: https://linktr.ee/oxnardcollegefoundation.



Scholarship Reviewers Wanted - Join the Club!


Perhaps the greatest impact a volunteer can provide through the OC Foundation is by reviewing and scoring scholarship applications. We saw a 232% increase in applications last year and anticipate a similar increase for the 2024/2025 application cycle. With an average of 4-5 hours total, Scholarship Reviewers will receive the training, support, and tools they need to be a part of a committee - reading our students' stories and helping us award $250k in scholarship grants.


There are three rounds of review this year:

  1. Transfer applications - March
  2. Continuing/Returning applications - June
  3. Entering applications - July


Details about scholarship applications and reviews are featured at:
