DescThe Foundation believes that affordable, high-quality education is critical to the success of the Tri-Valley; it also realizes that such education is not guaranteed through traditional, state funding. Accordingly, the Members of the Board are dedicated to pursuing alternative support for the College through grants, direct investments, and in-kind gifts from local businesses, industries and individuals.In this era of diminished public support, myriad aspects of a full, meaningful and attainable college experience, from drama, dance and forensics to student scholarships and staff professional development, have come to be considered almost "extras." Many vital and significant LPC activities and programs are not funded by tuition or the State of California. The basic cost of a California community college education is a remarkable bargain for students wishing to prepare for transfer to a four-year institution or for those who want career technical instruction. Class fees for residents are just $46 per credit. In actuality, however, the true actual and emotional costs of higher education must also include child care, transportation, and lost work and family time. Far and away the most easily quantified additional costs are for supplies, principally textbooks. A single text often costs in excess of $100 and can exceed $400. Sadly, these "extra" costs can force some students to attempt to take classes without a textbook or, worse, drop out of college. Making scholarships available to Las Positas College students is critical to their success. Each year the Las Positas College Foundation makes grants available to students based on need and/or academic achievement. Scholarships are most often offered to any student who qualifies but some are focused on special types of students. The most compelling cohort of the latter group is returning veterans - a population that has shown remarkable growth in the past several years.Beyond direct aid to students in the form of scholarships, The Las Positas College Foundation supports a broad array of programs that enhance the learning and collegiate experience of its students and ability of its faculty to be more effective. Examples of these other types of support are:Literary and Performing Arts:-LPC Express student newspaper -Campus and Community focused Literary Magazine, Anthology and feature magazine, Naked-Theater Performances of Drama, Dance and Music -Theater facilities sound system mixing board-Award winning Speech and Debate TeamBusiness: -Shark Tank contest for business studentsOther:- Tutorlink on campus peer tutoring programAthletics:-Uniforms and equipment for all Sports Programs, such as Men's and Women's Basketball, swimming and soccer -Equipment for the new Sports Complex (Gym, Fields, and Aquatics Center) Teaching and Learning Initiatives:-Staff Development -Faculty Enriched Programs -Student Government Textbook Loaner Program-Lecture Series such as Brain Awareness Week and the Campus Change NetworkEmerging Science Programs: -Laboratory equipment and associated upgrades -Science Complex equipment and Lab expendables Scholarships: One of the primary missions of the Foundation is to provide scholarships. To date over $600,000 has been awarded. This year the Foundation offers the new Mertes Scholarships for Performing Arts, Valley Care and Athletics. Performing Arts: The performing arts program and Las Positas College is support by the Foundation through Cycle Grants and special fundraising, including providing Applied Music Lessons to help students complete this graduation requirement. Scholarships are provided for performing arts students continuing to a four-year college. Veteran Student Support: The Foundation strongly supports veterans enrolled at LPC. The Veterans Resource Center provides wrap-around services such as textbook and laptop programs, tutoring, scholarship assistance, counseling and help with jobs and housing. Business: A new scholarship is being provided for a business major student. Tutoring: The award-winning LPC Math Jam program helps students reach their goals and is offered at no cost. The Foundation also supports the RAW Center, for student assistance in reading and writing. Textbook Assistance: The Foundation supports a free textbook rental program to help students reduce the cost of college attendance. Athletics: Two scholarships are designated for male and female students in the basketball program. Teaching and Learning Initiatives: The Foundation provides funding for innovative teaching and learning projects to the faculty and staff of Las Positas College. These Grants provide support for student success, teaching and learning effectiveness and campus community development. Emerging Science Programs: The Foundation works with the community laboratories to enhance science education through events such as the Science and Engineering Seminar Series and the Sandia Science Bowl for middle school students. Support for Students with Children: The Foundation provides scholarships for children of Las Positas College students to attend the LPC Early Childhood Development Center. Parents can reach their educational goals knowing their children are in a high quality preschool program.Desc
