Career & College Promise (CCP)

What is Career & College Promise?

A program where high school students can take college classes tuition-free!

At SCC, we believe successful careers and college experiences can begin in high school! Through the Career & College Promise (CCP) program, we offer seamless dual enrollment opportunities to qualifying high school juniors and seniors. High school students have the opportunity to pursue a high school diploma while concurrently progressing towards earning a post-secondary academic credential including a certificate, diploma, or degree – all tuition FREE.

Such credentials will grant students the essential academic training to pursue college transfer interests and entry-level employment opportunities.

Taking CCP classes can lead to qualifying for the SCC Success Scholarship.
