The program provides students with mentoring, a counseling/completion coach, tutoring, transfer assistance, and field trips. It is a last dollar program (any waivers/financial aid/scholarships are awarded first) covering remaining educational needs and costs for students while at Taft College, including tuition, course material fees, and required books.

  1. U.S. veterans and spouses and children of deceased or disabled U.S. veterans, attending Taft College in the engineering field, with priority given to students in an Energy Engineering field of studies.
  2. Taft, Maricopa, or Kern County High School graduates attending Taft College engineering studies, with priority given to students majoring in Energy Engineering field of studies.
  3. U.S. veterans and spouses and children of deceased or disabled U.S. veterans will be given priority in any college of study.
