SANFORD - The Central Carolina Promise/K14 program encourages local students to complete their Associate Degree, or 14th grade, by providing two years of tuition-free classes after their high school graduation. The program encompasses the Chatham County Promise, Harnett County Promise, and Lee County Promise -- and is generously funded by the commissioners in each county.

To qualify, students must:

• Take a minimum of 4 classes (or 12 credit hours) of college classes during high school, generally through the North Carolina Career & College Promise program.
• Reside in Chatham, Harnett, or Lee County.
• Graduate from high school and take classes at Central Carolina Community College within their declared major.
• Complete the enrollment checklist located at www.cccc.edu/promise.

Chatham, Harnett, and Lee County students who graduated high school in 2020 or 2021 and meet the criteria above are currently eligible to join the program -- it is not too late!
