Since 1974, the DVC Foundation has been a heartfelt partner in the lives of Diablo Valley College students. As a nonprofit organization, we’re here to uplift students not just in the classroom, but in every part of their journey — from basic needs to big dreams. With the support of our generous community, we provide scholarships, emergency aid, and resources that make a real difference. Together, we’re helping students thrive, one story at a time.
“I used to wonder if I belonged here. Now I know I do—and I have a whole community cheering me on.”
“I’m the first in my family to go to college. Thanks to this support, I won’t be the last.”
​
“I work two jobs and go to school full-time. This scholarship gave me the chance to take a breath—and keep going.”
“I have been through some turbulent times before applying to DVC, but my time here has changed me as a person. I used to be shy and did not see myself capable of achieving much… Your support allows me to dedicate more time to my studies, ensuring that I’ll achieve the goals that I have set forth for myself.”
