Prince George's Community College

Overview

The Prince George's County Promise Scholarship covers tuition and fees for eligible students, bridging the gap between what federal, state, and other grants and scholarships provide and the full cost of attendance. The program is built on the premise that a lack of financial resources should not prevent students from earning an associate degree or industry-recognized licensure or credential from PGCC.

🌟🌟🌟Eligibility Requirements 🌟🌟🌟

• A high school graduate from Prince George's County (within the last two years)

• A resident of Prince George's County

• A first-time college student (no previous college experience other than dual enrollment)

Requirements for students seeking an associate degree:

• Enroll in an associate degree program at PGCC.

• Have a current FAFSA on file with the Student Financial Aid Office. The Prince George's Community College school code is 002089. If ineligible for FAFSA, complete the MHEC One App (formerly known as MSFAA).

• Successfully complete 30 credits every academic year, including fall, winter, spring, and summer.
