Katherine Brady Clarinet Endowment

Kathy V. and Merle E. Memorial Scholarship

While working at IVC, Brenda Borron saw the impact that scholarships have on their recipients. Upon retiring, she established this scholarship in memory of her parents, who taught her the importance of obtaining an education Brenda believes that IVC is a place of second chances.

Kaye and Jane Mach Retiree Endowed Scholarship

Kaye Mach was one of the original faculty members at IVC. When Kaye and his wife Jane created their will, they included the IVC Foundation. The bequest was realized in 2023 after both Kaye and Jane passed away. While they did not place any restrictions on the gift, the IVC Foundation Board of Governors voted to create a scholarship that would honor those who retired from IVC over the past year.

Kids Read! is an organization dedicated to getting books into the hands of as many children in need as possible. Having no employees, Kids Read! runs completely on the generosity of our amazing volunteers. This scholarship honors the incredible number of hours that IVC students help with cleaning, sorting, labeling, boxing, and delivering books.
