Where we foster excellence in education that challenges students of every background to develop their intellect, character, and abilities; to assist students in achieving their educational and career goals; and to be responsive to the greater community.
Whether you want to start a career or transfer to a four-year university, California community colleges are here to help you succeed.
The California College Promise Grant (CCPG) helps eligible students by paying for the per-unit enrollment fee at any California community college.
Once you qualify for the CCPG, you need to keep up your grades and complete your classes to stay eligible.
Watch our and what happens to your CPPG if you are not meeting the rules.

If your GPA is below 2.0 for two semesters in a row, you could lose your CCPG.
Progress Standard: Finish More Than Half of Your Classes
If you complete 50% or less of your classes for two semesters in a row, you could lose your CCPG.
