Engineering-HEPP

The program provides students with mentoring, a counseling/completion coach, tutoring, transfer assistance, and field trips, and 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.

At all times, first focus in student selection is given to U.S. veterans, and/or spouses or children of deceased or disabled U.S. veterans. The donor’s preferences in order of importance for student selection are further ranked below:

1. 1. U.S. veterans, 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.

The “Scholarships” are available to incoming freshman, transfer students, or current students. Students must maintain a 2.5 Grade Point Average to remain in good standing and have demonstrated financial need.
