Resources to Help You Succeed

The Foothill College Promise is designed to do more than waive tuition—it connects you with a full ecosystem of support to help you thrive. From transit passes and student discounts to peer networks and academic tutoring, we make sure you have the tools and the community you need to focus on your learning and your goals.

Financial & Campus Access Benefits Promise students receive a SmartPass for unlimited rides on the VTA bus and light rail each quarter, and an OwlCard giving access to campus services and local discounts. Plus—if you qualify—course textbooks can be checked out via the college library, helping you keep costs down and keep pace.

Access dedicated academic support including EOPS, a Math Performance Success center, the Writing & Language Center, the STEM Center, and the Transfer Center, all designed to keep you on track and finish strong.

Student Support Services & Campus Life Your Promise experience includes holistic support: from Disability Support Services and the Veterans Resource Center to health care, psychological counseling, a food pantry, and on-campus events and student government.
