Central Carolina Promise

Free Tuition for Qualifying High School Graduates!

Eligible high school graduates that reside in Chatham, Harnett, and Lee County can receive free in-state tuition and required student fees at Central Carolina Community College. Funds for this program are generously supplied by the Chatham, Harnett, and Lee County Commissioners. Eligibility requirements may vary by county and by program sub-category. Funding for textbooks and other class materials, whether physical or digital, is not included in the Central Carolina Promise program.

How Does it Work?

Potential participants will fall into one of the two sub-categories below. 

Please note: Students must submit an application to the correct sub-category to be considered for the program. CCCC will not automatically accept students into the Central Carolina Promise program without a completed application. 

Which “Promise” Are You?

First, we’ll need to determine which sub-category applies to you. Think about your high school graduation date, relative to when you intend to start your first semester with the Central Carolina Promise program.
