Career and college promise

Career and College Promise is a program that gives students an opportunity to be enrolled in high school and at Central Piedmont Community College. Career and College Promise (CCP) gives high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to get a "jump start" on a two-year or four-year degree while still in high school. Best of all, it is tuition-free; however, high school students may encounter book cost and college fees.

Qualified students can earn college credit while still in high school, allowing them to receive both high school and college credit for courses taken through the program.

Here are ways students have benefited from Career and College Promise Program:

  • Free Tuition

  • College Credit

  • Career Exploration

If getting a head start on college sounds good to you and your family, there are several ways for you to qualify to take advantage of the program.
