Make an Estate Gift
Whether you are an alum, former faculty or staff member, Renegade fan, or just a friend of Bakersfield College, you can ensure BC’s future generations of students have access to quality, affordable higher education by leaving something to BC in your will. It is easy to do, and it does not affect you during your lifetime. Support in any amount makes a huge difference to our students and faculty.
