Student Success Completion Grant (SSCG)

The Student Success Completion Grant (SSCG) is a financial assistance program designed specifically for students at Los Angeles Valley College who are recipients of either the state's Cal Grant B or C. This scholarship is funded by the state to enhance the academic experience and provide essential resources for students committed to completing their educational goals. Recognizing the challenges faced by many students, the SSCG seeks to alleviate financial burdens and promote a culture of academic success.

Purpose and Prestige

The primary purpose of the SSCG is to support students in completing their programs within a reasonable timeframe. The grant is particularly prestigious as it not only recognizes the dedication of students who qualify for state grants but also demonstrates the institution's commitment to investing in its student population. By offering this additional financial support, Los Angeles Valley College emphasizes its mission to foster an environment where students can thrive academically and achieve their educational aspirations.

Target Audience and Suitability

This grant is ideally suited for domestic and international students already receiving state Cal Grants. It is tailored for lower-income individuals who demonstrate financial need and are pursuing degrees or certificates that contribute to their personal and professional growth.
