Promise will cover all your tuition costs, up to 30 credit hours per academic year (up to 15 credits per semester), after Pell funds and any other grants and\/or scholarships are taken into account.<br><br>The Nebraska Promise program is a commitment to cover tuition expenses. The program does not guarantee that additional costs including fees, books, housing and meals or transportation will be covered. However, the Nebraska Promise is just one of many financial aid options available. Those who receive the Nebraska Promise may also receive aid beyond the cost of tuition through additional grants and scholarships.<\/p>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section style=\"--psc-bg:#FFFFFF;--psc-padding:clamp(20px, 2.66vw, 40px);--psc-gap:clamp(16px, 2vw, 30px);--psc-maxw:100%;--psc-border-color:#F5E7B3;--psc-border-width:1px;--psc-border-radius:0px;--psc-bg-size:cover;--psc-bg-position:center center;--psc-bg-repeat:no-repeat;--psc-bg-opacity:1;--psc-title-color:#0D0F0E;--psc-title-transform:capitalize;--psc-title-font-family:&#039;Cormorant Garamond&#039;, &#039;Georgia&#039;, serif;--psc-title-font-size:32px;--psc-title-line-height:37px;--psc-title-font-weight:400;--psc-title-font-style:normal;--psc-title-letter-spacing:0.576px;--psc-deadline-color:#8C1704;--psc-deadline-font-family:&#039;DM Sans&#039;, &#039;Helvetica Neue&#039;, sans-serif;--psc-deadline-font-size:18px;--psc-deadline-line-height:23px;--psc-deadline-font-weight:600;--psc-deadline-font-style:normal;--psc-deadline-letter-spacing:normal;--psc-body-color:#474747;--psc-body-font-family:&#039;DM Sans&#039;, &#039;Helvetica Neue&#039;, sans-serif;--psc-body-font-size:16px;--psc-body-line-height:25px;--psc-body-font-weight:400;--psc-body-font-style:normal;--psc-body-letter-spacing:normal;--psc-link-color:#B28E07;--psc-link-underline:#ffffff00;--psc-link-transform:uppercase;--psc-link-font-family:&#039;DM Sans&#039;, &#039;Helvetica Neue&#039;, sans-serif;--psc-link-font-size:13px;--psc-link-line-height:22px;--psc-link-font-weight:600;--psc-link-font-style:normal;--psc-link-letter-spacing:1.92px;--psc-pdf-btn-color:#B28E07;--psc-pdf-list-mt:0px\" class=\"ponca-sch sec_padding youth-education-pages-responsiveness wp-block-ponca-scholarship-card\">\n\t\n\t<div class=\"container ponca-sch__inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"ponca-sch__header\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"ponca-sch__title\">California College Promise Grant<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"ponca-sch__body\">The California College Promise Grant is a form of CA State aid that waives the enrollment fee ($46\/unit) for eligible CA resident students. The primary form of application for this aid is the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Students who complete the FASFA will have the best chance of qualifying for the California College Promise Grant.<br><br>How does the California College Promise Grant work?<br>You do not receive an electronic funds transfer or a debit card; instead your enrollment fees are waived after registration activity. You are responsible for paying any and all fees remaining which include the Health Fee, College Service Charge, material fees, and parking permit.<\/br>Your California College Promise Grant will be posted on the college\u2019s registration fee screen and will be valid for Coastline Community College, Golden West College, and Orange Coast College. If you paid your enrollment fees before the California College Promise Grant was applied to your account, the Enrollment Center \/ Registration Office will complete a refund of those fees.<\/p>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section
