FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, the Oxnard College Foundation maintains their mission to provide support to campus development, student scholarships, educational programs, and other college needs. As we begin the new year, the 2021-22 scholarships & grants season has begun, and students can now apply online!
Every year, the Foundation awards thousands of dollars in scholarships and grants to Oxnard College students to help aid in their academic path. This year, the Oxnard College Foundation is pleased to announce the acquisition of Scholarship Manager, an online system which allows students to apply for scholarships and grants online. Students who attend VC and MC will be familiar with this resource, and Oxnard College Foundation is launching our resource today - Friday, January 15th. Students will be able to access Scholarship Manager through their student portal:
- Click the My College tab
- Scroll down to My College Quicklinks
- Click on OC Foundation Scholarship Application
Once students log in, they will be able to view scholarships, begin their application based on their academic progress -- Entering students, Continuing/Returning students, Transfer students, and Fire Academy -- and upload any required documents. The landing page (screenshot above) will greet students and provide any updates or notifications.
Our students at Oxnard College are resilient and focused on their futures, which is why scholarships and grant opportunities are vital to help students achieve their goals. The OC Foundation kindly asks the Oxnard College community to help spread the word.
Important deadlines:
- Application start date: Friday, January 15th
- Application deadline: Monday, March 1st @ 3pm
- Application deadline for Fire Academy candidates: Monday, February 15th @ 3pm
Additional resources will be provided on the OC Foundation's Scholarship page: https://www.oxnardcollege.edu/college-information/foundation/scholarships
Students can direct any questions to the OCF Scholarship Coordinator - Ariane Perez aperez@vcccd.edu
Upon request, other application delivery methods can be made available for students.
