Siskiyou Promise - Supporting Siskiyou and Modoc County Students. Investing in the Future.

What is the Siskiyou Promise?

The College of the Siskiyous Promise is designed to remove the economic barriers to education. The "Promise" is graduating seniors from Siskiyou and Modoc County high schools (who are also California residents) will have their tuition ($46/unit) fully funded during their first full academic year (consecutive fall and spring semesters after high school graduation) of attendance at College of the Siskiyous, crediting any applicable financial assistance. Promise students must enroll as a full-time student (at least 12, but recommend 15 units) to be eligible for funding.

The Siskiyou Promise Grant is limited to two full, regular academic years (fall and spring semesters only) which excludes winter intersession and summer session.

Who is it for?

The Siskiyou Promise Scholarship is offered to every Siskiyou and Modoc County high school graduate (and resident) who enrolls at COS the fall semester immediately following their high school graduation as a full-time student.

How it is Funded

The Siskiyou Promise Scholarship Program is funded by a variety of sources including the College of the Siskiyous Foundation and State categorical programs.

Quality education depends on fiscal stability, well-maintained facilities and equipment, up-to-date technology, and a faculty and staff that are current with new and innovative advances in their fields. Since its inception, the College of the Siskiyous Foundation has worked to assist the Board of Trustees and College staff to maintain its standard of excellence.
