The San Diego Community College District (SDCCD) on Monday announced a major expansion of its tuition-free program known as the San Diego Promise, making all recent high school graduates who are first-time, full-time students eligible to receive two free years of college.

The expanded program will cost an estimated $1.86 million in 2018-2019 and be paid for using a combination of state and non-state funds. Participating students’ first year will be funded through an allocation in the state budget called the California College Promise. Students’ second year will be underwritten through a district-led fundraising campaign.
