The SBCC Promise provides access to an outstanding and affordable education at SBCC for all local high school graduates, covering all direct educational costs – tuition, fees, and all required books and supplies – for two years.

Student support programs help traditionally under-resourced and underprepared students – such as single parents and first-generation students – make a smooth transition to SBCC and succeed in college and life.

Scholarships and book grants are awarded annually to students, based on academic achievement and/or need. This assistance allows students to focus on their coursework by covering costs they may not be able to afford.
