Building upon its long-time commitment to offering a high-quality, affordable education, York College of Pennsylvania is offering a new program, the York College Promise, designed to expand access to college and to drive economic development in York County.
The York College Promise opens doors for York County students who, without assistance, would be less likely to attend college. The York College Promise program also seeks to encourage students who may be considering skipping college to reconsider.
With the program beginning in the fall, new first-time students from York County are invited to apply and enroll at York College as part of a cohort model with a guided college experience. Students will have opportunities to support each other as peer mentors and to work together on projects inside and outside the classroom, while living on campus.
Participating students will receive free tuition, but will be responsible for other costs, including room and board. They will have the opportunity to access federal and state need-based assistance, including college work-study, to help with those costs.
Criteria for participation and information on applying to the York College Promise program are available at http://www.ycp.edu/york-college-promise. The application deadline for the 2021-22 academic year is Tuesday, June 15.
