$100K Grant under Valley Bound Commitment

The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians has given almost $2 million to support a program at San Bernardino Valley College (SBVC) over the past 13 years. The program is named “Valley-Bound Commitment” that aims to reduce economic barriers that may deter academic success.

It provides enrollment fees and textbook costs for low-income students from local high schools during their first year at SBVC.

“San Manuel Band of Mission Indians is a transformative partner for San Bernardino Valley College and Valley-Bound Commitment students, providing almost $2 million to support the program over the past 13 years,”
