Business Need

The CCC Chancellor's Office will hear a proposal to adopt the California College Promise Grant.and rename the BOG Fee Waiver application to the "California College Promise Grant" during the September 2017 board meeting. This motion is expected to be approved. This name change will significantly impact the CCCApply BOG Fee Waiver Online Application and development should begin soon to identify all instances and references to be changed. 

Bryan Dickason, CCCCO Financial Aid Specialist will review the current BOGFW application and make the appropriate change recommendations. I believe it does not have to go into effect until 2019-20 (to give colleges time to make all the necessary changes to web sites, forms, and documentation). Since 2018-19 is coming up it will only be a recommended change (CCPG, formerly called BOGFW).

There is national pressure that California did not have a statewide Promise Program. This change, along with the individual Promise Programs allows CA to been in step with the rest of the nation.

College Promise: Background Information

More than 400 education leaders, including the heads of all public education systems in California, have gathered on August 29th, 2017 with their partners to discuss and develop strategies to improve and expand College Promise partnerships, which offer financial, academic, and community support to eligible students throughout the state. College Promise initiatives are part of a growing national movement to support college access and completion, especially for low- to middle-income students, creating a "college-going culture" in the communities where they exist and strengthening local economies.

College Promise partnerships are much more than scholarship programs. They have the potential to be a framework for student and community success by developing an ecosystem of low- to no-cost pathways that allow students to achieve their higher education goals. In addition to funding, College Promise initiatives often provide student support structures at various stages of a student's education. At the high school level, these supports can include field trips to college campuses, assistance to complete FAFSA and college applications, dual enrollment programs, academic and personal counseling, mentoring, and tutoring. At the college level, student support can include cohort models, summer courses and orientation programs, priority registration, guaranteed course availability, and academic counseling and tutoring.
