Major Gift Allows Central Coast College To Expand Fee Free Education Program

A Central Coast college has received a major grant from a utility company to expand its program of offering students a fee-free education.

Cuesta College’s Promise Scholarship program has been offering free tuition for the first year of school at Cuesta to all San Luis Obispo County high school graduates.

Now, the Cuesta College Foundation is expanding the scholarships to include a second year of education. A $100,000 donation from PG&E is playing a key role in the expansion of the scholarship program.
