About Us
A Helping Hand Up for Higher Education
Our dream is to help every person in our community striving to achieve a college education and improve their life.
We’re passionate about helping students that value hard work and are taking steps necessary to transform their future by obtaining a college degree or career-technical certificate. Education is the great equalizer in our society and provides the less fortunate a path to achieve career goals and success in life. In Solano County this is so important because ten percent of the population lives in poverty; nearly 50,000 people. Also, the population with the bachelor’s degree in Solano is just half that of most Bay Area counties, and well below surrounding areas, including Sacramento.
Solano Community College is making an impact daily by educating about 12,000 local students from diverse backgrounds. Students have an opportunity to select an academic major in nearly 100 career fields. These students embrace the fact that higher education and career-technical training will improve their future.
