Antelope Valley College Foundation Fall Update

Fall Update from the AVC Foundation

This year have been challenging for all of us. The AVC Foundation staff has been working remotely and are continuing to serve our students and community.

This semester we distributed nearly $230,000 in scholarships to 149 of our students. In fact, 31% of the students have now moved on to continue their academics at a 4-year University. The remainder are either new students to AVC or continuing their studies at AVC.

If you already have a scholarship donation fund established, the 2021-22 Scholarship packets will be going out shortly to the contact for that fund. Please be sure to review, sign, and return. Any questions regarding this packet can be directed to Emily Moulton at emoulton@avc.edu.

Lockheed Martin Supports AVC with $75,000 COVID Support Grant

Lockheed Martin recognized that COVID-19 has severely impacted our students in multiple ways. Completing their studies remotely has been a challenge for many of our students. Especially those who are experiencing homelessness, housing insecurities, hunger, and technology challenges.

The AVC Foundation was awarded a $75,000 grant to directly support our students' basic and technological needs to ensure their academic success through the effects of the pandemic.

We are grateful for the support of Lockheed Martin and are honored to support our AVC students with this grant.

Ways to directly help our students
