We’re excited to tell you about a new program, the De Anza College Promise, that will assist low-income students from local high schools who would like to enroll at De Anza starting fall 2018.
The promise is simple: Your first year of college is free if you qualify.
This program is designed to benefit students who need it the most. That means the lowest income students, including many who are undocumented and those who are aging out of the foster youth system.
Seniors graduating from area high schools can qualify if they are first-time college students entering De Anza with a Cal Grant in fall 2018.
The De Anza College Promise provides these benefits to participating students:
- $500 toward the cost of books and course materials
- Payment of all required fees for the first year (excluding those already covered by the Board of Governors fee waiver)
- Membership in the Promise Learning Community
To qualify, students must apply for a Cal Grant no later than March 2. Undocumented students can qualify under the California Dream Act. You can find more information atwww.deanza.edu/outreach/de-anza-college-promise.
