The Ventura College Promise, a program sponsored by the Ventura College Foundation, pays enrollment fees of all recent Ventura County high school graduates who meet the program requirements during their first year of attendance at Ventura College.

The promise is extended to students who have successfully completed their GED requirements or who have completed high school coursework but have not yet passed their exit exam.

Only students who enroll at Ventura College during the fall semester will be covered under the Promise Program. There is no minimum nor maximum number of units that must be taken, and no minimum gradepoint average or assessment score that must be met.

To qualify, an applicant must identify an educational goal, take an assessment examination, work with a counselor to develop an education plan, complete a Financial Aid Application (FAFSA) and apply for the Ventura College Promise.

Interested individuals can contact a Ventura College counselor at (805) 654-6448 or the Ventura College Foundation Office at (805) 654-6461.
