Abstract: The California College Promise Program was established in 2017 through Assembly Bill 19 (AB 19) to support college affordability and increase student success at California community colleges. The program allows colleges to use funds to waive fees for first-time, full-time students who complete a FAFSA or Dream Act application. In 2019, Assembly Bill 2 (AB 2) clarified eligibility by excluding students with prior post-secondary degrees or certificates and required the Chancellor's Office to report on the use of funds. This report meets the reporting requirement of AB 2 and is organized into three sections. First, this report includes a brief overview of the California Promise Program, followed by a summary of how colleges used program funds. Finally, it includes an analysis of progress towards the program's four goals.
