Oransky Mirkin Families Endowed Scholarship

Growing up, Elissa and Andrew Oransky were surrounded by their families' passion for and generations-long dedication to education. They started this scholarship to turn the passion into a legacy and to acknowledge Elissa's love for IVC.

Oritz Family Scholarship

Desiree Ortiz is a longtime IVC employee who is also an alumna of the college. She started her higher ed journey before starting a family and continued after she became a mother. She is the first person in her immediate family to complete her bachelor’s degree. Her hope is for this scholarship to inspire others to fulfill their educational dreams regardless of the barriers they face.

Orozco Mahaney “ABLE” Scholarship

This scholarship holds deep meaning for the Orozco Mahaney family. Dedicated to honoring and supporting the neurodivergent student community at IVC, this scholarship celebrates Angela Orozco Mahaney’s 30-year legacy at the college. Given by her family, this award carries forward her commitment to “pay it forward” — a reflection of the continued blessings her son has received within the extraordinary world of autism. The family recognizes the strength, encouragement, and perseverance required to help loved ones thrive in inclusive environments. Through this scholarship, the family aims to empower others to be ABLE — to achieve, believe, learn, and excel — in every aspect of their educational journey.

Osher Endowed Scholarships

In 2008, the Bernard Osher Foundation made the largest gift ever to the California community college system: $50 million, with a challenge to California’s community college foundations to match the gift. The Osher scholarships are for students who have received the California College Promise Grant (formerly Board of Governors Fee Waiver) and have completed at least 24 units of college-level coursework.
