What is OC Promise?
The Olympic College Promise is a scholarship and transition program that offers last-dollar funding and support to students graduating from Olympic High School and Bremerton High School for their first year of college.
Accepted students receive a last-dollar scholarship from the Olympic College Foundation, which covers any remaining tuition and fees after other financial aid and scholarships have been applied. This ensures that eligible students can attend their first year of college tuition-free.
High school seniors must apply for the OC Promise program during their senior year by completing the OC Foundation's general scholarship application, which usually opens in the winter.
