Thinking Part-Time? Not Eligible for the Lake Tahoe College Promise?

There are lots of ways for you to afford college, even if you cannot commit to attending full time in order to qualify for the Lake Tahoe College Promise. Both part-time and full-time students who do not qualify for up to three free years of college can apply for the Promise Grant (formerly known as the Board of Governors fee waiver, or BOG waiver). This grant is available to California residents and AB540 eligible students. There are residency and income requirements for this grant – read more about them!
