Cañada College's Promise Scholars Program Financial Benefits

August 30, 2019

We are continuing our series on Cañada College's Promise Scholars Program (PSP). This time we are featuring the financial benefits of the program.

Specifically, the Promise Scholars Program covers the cost of attending Cañada College for the first full year and continues to offer other financial supports after completion of that first year. This financial support includes 1) coverage of college fees for the first full year (the first fall, spring, and summer semesters) at Cañada College (enrollment fee, health fee, student rep fee, student union fee, study body fee), 2) textbook costs and 3) transportation costs (scholars will receive funds to help cover transportation costs).

For more information on this great program please visit https://canadacollege.edu/promise/
