Invest In Our Students
The Butte College Promise Scholarship Endowment needs your support to help first-time, full-time students - of any age - earn a certificate, degree, and/or transfer to a four-year university by offering scholarships for their tuition and fees for up to two years.
Currently, the Promise Scholarship is only partially funded through state funding, and a generous donation from the Grossman Family of $1 million—however, more funding is needed to sustain the program. The Butte College Foundation is seeking to raise $2.5 million to support the Promise Scholarship Endowment and have it sustainable for our students for years to come.

One of our greatest needs is for student scholarships
With an active scholarship committee, we can offer scholarships to those students who meet the criteria you choose. While tuition is reasonable, the combined cost of educational and living expenses means that many students require financial aid.
Available to All Butte College Employees
Employees can choose to directly support student scholarships, college programs, and specific departments. Every dollar donated is more than a gift; it is an investment in Butte College. Your monthly donation will automatically be deducted for 10 months and is tax deductible.
Give the Gift of Education
You have the opportunity to "Give the Gift of Education." A student's average tuition & fees range from $678 for a full time student and $387 as a part time student. Please consider helping a student with your tax-deductible donation. Contact us at (530) 895-2359 for more info.
Avoid Capital Gains Taxes
Donating a residence, vacation home, land or farm that has appreciated in value can avoid capital gains taxes and provides a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the property.
The Education Market is Up
You may opt to donate appreciated stock to the college and receive a charitable deduction for the full market value of the gift. Additionally, you may avoid paying capital gains on the appreciation.
