Workforce Scholarship Program

The Vacaville Chamber of Commerce is a proud proponent of workforce development in the city of Vacaville. The Vacaville Chamber Educational Foundation (VCEF) supports this by awarding scholarships each year to deserving recipients.

VCEF is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization whose goal is to develop the local workforce. Scholarship awards range from $500-$2,500 and are given to local students pursuing post-high school education at accredited and state-approved vocational and/or trade schools, community colleges, and traditional colleges. The scholarships may be used for various expenses, including tuition, books, training fees, industry-specific equipment, and other career-related expenditures. VCEF believes that programs such as these can be used to enrich the region's talent pool. 

Eligible applicants need to live or work in Vacaville, should be continuing or re-entering education or training in any field, and must provide proof of a high school diploma or equivalent. There is no GPA requirement.
