SBVC has once again been recognized for its commitment to student success. Thanks to strong outcomes and diligent stewardship, the SBVC Foundation has secured a 6th year of funding through the Finish Line Scholars Program, bringing in an additional $150,000 to support emergency scholarships for students on the path to graduation.

SBVC was one of the original community colleges selected in 2020 by the California Community Colleges Foundation to receive Finish Line funding, which provides direct financial support to help students overcome barriers and stay on track to complete their degrees. Over the last five years, the SBVC Foundation has received a total of $750,000, distributing emergency micro-grants to hundreds of students in need.

Now, thanks to continued student achievement outcomes, SBVC has been awarded an additional round of funding, making it one of only a handful of colleges statewide to receive a sixth year of support.
