In 2016, the Foundation launched the SBCC Promise, offering all recent, local high school graduates the opportunity to attend Santa Barbara City College full-time at no cost. The SBCC Promise relies entirely on private support and covers all required fees, books, and supplies for up to two years. To date, over 6,500 students have participated. By removing financial barriers, the SBCC Promise ensures that SBCC’s life-changing educational programs are fully accessible to all local students.
to the hundreds of donors who have made the SBCC Promise possible. And a special thanks to the following donors who have recently made major gifts to keep the Promise strong: The John C. Mithun Foundation, Winslow Maxwell Charitable Trust, Assistance League of Santa Barbara, Jean M. Nell Revocable Living Trust, Fidelity Charitable, Mary D. Thompson, Glenn E. and Gleeola Brun Charitable Trust, Bank of America Charitable Foundation, Inc., College Futures Foundation, Hazen Family Foundation, Joan and Jerry Rocco, Schwab Fund for Charitable Giving, Volentine Family Foundation, William and Charlene Glikbarg Foundation
The SBCC Promise is funded by the community, for the community. Your support provides all recent, local high school graduates with access to an outstanding college education and the resources they need to earn an associate’s degree or certificate, and transfer to a four-year university.
The President’s Circle makes the SBCC Foundation’s work possible by providing core support through an annual gift of unrestricted funds. President’s Circle members form a dynamic group that believes in the power of education to transform lives and our community.
Generosity comes in many forms. You can fulfill your financial goals while helping the SBCC Foundation provide vital assistance to students by including a charitable gift in your estate plans. Your gift ensures that future generations of students will have the opportunity to pursue their dreams at SBCC.
I have seen how an education at SBCC changes lives, providing opportunities to people who are struggling to find their way in the world. Through the Foundation, students receive both financial assistance and emotional support that transforms despair into hope. At the end of the day, this is what inspires them to continue and succeed.”
– Dr. Peter Haslund, member of SBCC Foundation’s Legacy Circle
When SBCC students succeed, we all win.Jaylia McGary, SBCC Promise graduate, Class of 2023
