The MESA (Math, Engineering, Science Achievement) Scholarship is awarded to highly motivated students pursuing STEM fields, with a special focus on supporting students from underrepresented backgrounds. Applicants must be part of the MESA program and demonstrate strong academic achievement, leadership skills, and a commitment to community engagement.

MESA Summer Research

The MESA Program at Irvine Valley College propels first generation, economically disadvantaged students toward success in calculus based STEM majors. Undergraduate research transforms theory into practice, builds confidence, and amplifies graduate school or industry prospects. The MESA Research Award lifts financial barriers for IVC MESA students who earn summer research positions, freeing them to focus fully on discovery.

Miranda Family Scholarship

As the Vice President for Instruction, Rick Miranda dedicates his days to ensuring that IVC provides the best educational opportunities for our students.

They understand that students can always use a little extra support and for students to know that someone believes in them. By providing this scholarship, the family hopes that the recipient is compelled to keep moving forward in their academic and professional goals.
