The Solano College Scholarship Foundation is a non-profit corporation that awards scholarships to continuing students at the college on the basis of academic achievement and demonstrated potential for excellence. The Foundation is administrated by a Board of Directors providing representation from the communities of Solano County. The goal of the Foundation is the promotion of scholastic excellence by providing a program that will identify, recognize and reward outstanding scholars attending Solano College. Beginning with the three scholarships that were presented in 1974, the program has grown to over 80 awards granted in the Fall of 2005. Scholarships are presented at a fall Awards Ceremony held at the end of September or early October. The Scholarship Foundation administers the following two
programs:
The General Scholastic
Achievement Program The primary criterion for General
Scholarship awards is scholastic excellence. General Scholarships are
reserved for full-time students who have completed 24 units of graded units
at Solano Community College and have earned a cumulative GPA of 3.30 or
higher. The Memorial/Special Endowment
Programs With the first memorial program starting in
1975, there are currently 45 programs established to honor and commemorate
specific individuals or purposes. Most special programs have designated
majors and/or other specific qualifying requirements that determine
eligibility for consideration. Memorial/Special Scholarships are awarded
with a minimum endowment fund balance of $3000. Because the scholarships are
funded by the interest earned on endowments, the amount of the annual
scholarship varies with the market. Full-time students who have completed 24 units of graded units at Solano Community College and have earned a cumulative GPA of 3.30 or higher are eligible to apply for scholarships. Most of the scholarships require the student to be either continuing as a full-time student at Solano or transferring to a four-year college in the fall. There are a few exceptions to the full-time enrollment requirement. The following scholarships permit applications from part-time students:
Students who have completed 24 units of graded units at Solano Community College and have earned a cumulative GPA of 3.30 or higher are identified after the spring semester, and scholarship applications are mailed to these students during the summer. This application is used for determining eligibility for both General and Special/Memorial Scholarships. Applications for the scholarships in certain vocational majors and for those scholarships that include part-time students are available at the beginning of the fall semester.
