Coastline Promise

What if we could provide your first year in college – for free?

Coastline Promise Program helps recent high school graduates transition into Coastline College students with financial and academic support. The Coastline Promise Program provides benefits like covering your first year’s fees*, textbook vouchers, priority registration, dedicated career planning, free tutoring, and MORE!

While removing the financial burden is key for many students, a unique component of Coastline Promise is the individual guidance each student will receive throughout their first year of college with our services. Eligibility for the program is not dependent on financial need, however, students are required to apply for Financial Aid to qualify.

Who can apply?

Recent high school graduates (Class of 2019) from a California high school are eligible to apply to the Coastline Promise Program.
