Scholarships

ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION WINDOW: MARCH 1ST- APRIL 30TH

The Imperial Valley College Foundation raises funds each year to fund hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships for IVC students. As opposed to Financial Aid, which is awarded by need, scholarships are based on merit. The top applicants for each scholarship are selected by various scholarship committees. In addition to full academic profiles that are automatically included with each application scholarship, applicants are asked to write a short essay. It is important to read each scholarship's cover page to know the different essay prompts for each scholarship.

There are three categories of scholarships for IVC students:

• Annual Scholarships (These are applied for during the Spring semester for the following academic year)
• Nursing Scholarships (Exclusive for IVC Nursing Students, offered each semester)
• Emergency Book Scholarships (The window to apply for these emergency fund scholarships is the week prior to the start of the Fall and Spring semesters)

For more information you may contact the IVC Foundation Office on campus in the William Thornburg Administration Center, building #10 or at (760) 355-6113.
