Canyons Promise

Canyons Promise is an academic student success program. We are dedicated to expanding student resources by removing obstacles and barriers to student services that often inhibit student access to higher education. Exclusively for eligible first-time college students who enroll full-time, Canyons Promise provides high-touch academic/counseling contact, peer collaboration, and the financial assistance proven to increase student success.

2025-2026 Canyons Promise Cohort:

Applications for the 2025-2026 first year cohort open on January 10, 2025 and close on May 1, 2025, at 5pm.

New for fall 2025, students must be eligible for the need-based California College Promise Grant (CCPG) and cohort seats will be limited to 1,000 students.

All interested students are encouraged to apply. If additional funding is provided by the state, the program will consider students that have applied but may not qualify for CCPG.
