Where we foster excellence in education that challenges students of every background to develop their intellect, character, and abilities; to assist students in achieving their educational and career goals; and to be responsive to the greater community.
Changes to the IVC Scholarship Program have been made.
These scholarships are available to all IVC students for the upcoming academic year. Scholarships no longer are offered each semester but have been combined into annual scholarships. There is now only one application period (March 1st through April 30th, annually) and only one scholarship distribution (once a year before the Fall Semester starts).*
Book Scholarships are annually based as well, but since they target students who do not qualify for Financial Aid, we have developed a special page and application specific to these scholarships (click here for more information).
*An exception to this is the Nursing Scholarships (click here for more information). Those scholarships remain by semester, and are only available for students in the IVC Nursing Program.
