How Does it Work
-
Submit FAFSA or CA Dream Act application.
-
Complete and meet all Chabot College Promise Program requirements.
-
Incoming students completing the previous steps will automatically be considered for the Chabot College Promise, and will receive either:
- The California College Promise Grant (CCPG) fee waiver;
- OR, the Chabot College Promise for free college tuition.
- Must enroll in a minimum of 12 units per semester (excluding summer semester).
- Students who will be awarded the Chabot Promise will not see a balance change until after the Census date, September 3rd. Before we disburse the Chabot Promise we will review and update each student's enrollment level to ensure each class has been paid for, excluding student fees. Again, students who pay off their enrollment fees before the Chabot Promise has been disbursed can request a refund only after the grant has been applied and a negative balance appears. Refund requests must be made through the Admissions and Record Office.
