About the San Jacinto College Foundation
With the help of generous donors, the San Jacinto College Foundation has been changing students’ lives since 1996. Every dollar invested goes directly toward our students. We fund scholarships, academic programs, and more. Help us continue our work enriching the lives of our students and communities.
