Yuba College Fund
The Campaign for yuba college
Yuba College is launching the largest fundraising campaign in its history to attract more students from our region to complete degrees and/or certificates as the basis for improving the local workforce and economic outlook for the region.
The campaign has a basic goal of $1.6 million, a desired goal of $2.6 million, and the aspirational goal of $3.6 million to improve the campus’ athletic facilities, as well as strengthen the Student Emergency Fund, and increase Scholarship for local students.
We are currently investing more than $13 million to modernize our academic and student support facilities. We must now invest in improving the athletics and related programs that serve as a major enrollment and community support magnet for the College overall.
Community members will be invited to make multi-year commitments and each of you are similarly invited to consider the same to help the college reach the goal. Payroll deductions is an easy avenue for employees to make a gift. Whether it is a multi-year pledge, a monthly payroll deduction, or a one-time gift, all gifts are important, and all are greatly appreciated. Participation, as always, is fully voluntary.
Yuba College Scholarships
At Yuba College, we believe there is value in offering wider doors of opportunity for our students. Thanks to generous support of individuals and community members, Yuba College provides more than 125 privately funded scholarships each year.
Yuba graduates are nurses in our hospitals, firefighters and police officers responding to 911 calls, ranchers and farmers innovating our Ag industry, teachers in our schools, and business owners. Our graduates make the local community a better place for us all. Your gift to support Yuba scholarships will make an lasting impact and help student achieve their academic ambitions.
Student Emergency Fund
Yuba College is committed to supporting our students during this pandemic and in other times of emergency and unexpected need. In addition to missing classes, many Yuba students are missing work, supporting their children with online education, and suffering financial challenges without regular income. In times like this some students do not have access to food, shelter, healthcare, childcare, and other support resources.
The Student Emergency Fund was established the to help students when they are experiencing emergencies and need help to pay bills, provide food, and support their families. Please support the Emergency Fund so we can continue transforming lives through education and preparing the workforce of the future!
