About Grossmont-Cuyamaca College Promise
This district program provides up to two years of tuition and mandatory fees at Grossmont or Cuyamaca College during fall and spring. It lists no income requirement or separate Promise application: students are considered if they apply to either college, have not already earned a degree or certificate, are first-time students, and complete that term’s steps. Funding is limited, so meeting the rules does not make aid unlimited.
The page lists September 8, 2026 as the Fall deadline, now passed, and February 16, 2027 for Spring. Students must submit the 2026–27 FAFSA or CADAA, enroll in the term’s required units, and meet college requirements. The waiver coordinates with existing aid; the page says there is no separate application or income threshold.
For Spring 2027, apply separately to Grossmont or Cuyamaca, complete the annual financial-aid application, and follow your campus’s registration and orientation steps. Before February 16, verify on the page whether that year requires a particular unit load and whether your enrollment has been confirmed. Contact the district program; do not send sensitive documents through unlisted channels.
The published award covers tuition and mandatory fees during fall and spring; it does not state that housing, books, or transportation are covered. Check whether the state California College Promise Grant already paid part of your enrollment fee. Do not assume the spring deadline covers summer; short sessions can have separate rules.
