More than 1,800 applications were submitted to the South Bay Promise and over 850 prospective students completed the steps to enroll for fall 2019. We are now positioning our cohorts to successfully support these students, so they are ready when fall classes begin. Newly admitted South Bay Promise students and their parents are highly encouraged to attend a welcome reception on Aug. 5.
This spring, the South Bay Promise became available to all first-time, full-time college students (regardless of school district) who complete the steps for eligibility and attend El Camino College the fall after their senior year. Through the South Bay Promise, enrollment fees for the first year will be paid for full-time students; students also have access to counseling and support services as they work to transfer to a university or pursue a rewarding career.
