Mendocino College is pleased to announce the Promise Program, which provides free tuition to eligible students, will be extended through the Fall 2020 semester.

In order for Mendocino College students to be eligible for the Promise Program, they must be a resident of California, have submitted a FAFSA or California Dream Act Application, be a first-time college student, successfully completed 15 units in their first semester (fall 2019 or spring 2020) and enroll in a minimum of 15 units in their second semester (spring or fall 2020).
