Foothill College Promise
Get two years free tuition & textbooks covered, too!
First-time, full-time students — apply for Foothill College Promise.
Experience the smarter choice of a great quality education at no cost to you!
First-time, full-time students (12 units or more*) are eligible to have the cost of tuition, fees and textbooks fully paid for their first two years at Foothill College.
And it doesn't stop there.
- Any number of units more than 12 per quarter will be covered during your first two years at Foothill. That can add up to some extra savings.
- Plus, we'll cover the cost of all your required books and course materials from the
college bookstore for both years.
- Eligible Extended Opportunities Programs & Services (EOPS) students will also receive up to $750 for a laptop from the college bookstore.
*Students who fall below 12 units will not be eligible for the Promise in subsequent quarters. For tutoring, counseling and other support services, visit Student Services.
