Butte College Promise Scholarship 

Invest In Our Students

The Butte College Promise Scholarship Endowment needs your support to help first-time, full-time students - of any age - earn a certificate, degree, and/or transfer to a four-year university by offering scholarships for their tuition and fees for up to two years. 

Currently, the Promise Scholarship is only partially funded through state funding, and a generous donation from the Grossman Family of $1 million—however, more funding is needed to sustain the program. The Butte College Foundation is seeking to raise $2.5 million to support the Promise Scholarship Endowment and have it sustainable for our students for years to come.

One of our greatest needs is for student scholarships

With an active scholarship committee, we can offer scholarships to those students who meet the criteria you choose. While tuition is reasonable, the combined cost of educational and living expenses means that many students require financial aid.
