Emergency Aid Campaign Update

Thank you to everyone who has donated to The Friends of Chabot College's Emergency Student Aid Fund! We have raised over $180,000 in individual and private donations to date; this includes generous contributions from the Stupski Foundation and United Way Bay Area.

To date, we have awarded over $60,000 in direct aid to more than 125 students! In collaboration with Chabot College Academic and Student Services, 200 Chromebooks and cases were also distributed to students. As pictured, students practiced social distancing while picking-up their device. There is still great need across our campus, and we are preparing for a second round of awards and support to start in July. This #GivingTuesdayNow, here are some ways you can help.
