California College Promise Grant

This state-funded program is designed to assist students attending California community colleges by waiving their enrollment tuition fees. It is available to California residents and eligible AB540 students who demonstrate financial need. Recipients can enroll in classes on either a full-time or part-time basis with no limit on the number of units covered. To remain eligible for the waiver in subsequent terms, students must meet minimum academic standards, which include maintaining a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 and successfully completing at least half of all attempted units. Those who do not meet these standards for two consecutive primary terms risk losing their fee waiver status, though an appeal process is available for students with qualifying extenuating circumstances.
