The York College Promise
For students in York County, PA, York College of Pennsylvania isn’t just another local school. Our campus is a constant presence, filled with educational experiences that support our communities, and a promise of opportunity for a bright future. Now, the York College Promise expands our commitment to access to education, especially for local under-resourced students.
The York College Promise provides eligible graduates from York County high schools with an opportunity to attend college as part of a cohort of fellow program participants who will live and learn together on campus. Students will receive personalized support with academic advising, work-study job opportunities, and free tuition toward their cost of attendance at York College. York Promise participants will also be part of the Changemakers community, a network of York College student volunteers and service-based student groups.
An education from York will help to drive the economic impact of a well-educated workforce in York County. The Promise program offers an opportunity for students who come from families that, without assistance, would not be able to attend a four-year college. We believe in the young people in our communities and are making a promise that we will help them succeed as part of a stronger York County.
The Application for the York College Promise Program will open later this fall! To apply for this program, students MUST have an application on file with York College of Pennsylvania.
