The Fairfield Promise Program

Graduates in Fairfield County have the opportunity to attend Midlands Technical College for free!

The Fairfield County Promise Program (the “Promise Program”) is a scholarship program funded through Fairfield County and the Fairfield County School District in partnership with Midlands Technical College (MTC). 

The Promise Program scholarship will support students who thought college might be an impossible dream due to a shortage of finances. It provides financial assistance to eligible citizens of Fairfield County to attend MTC and enroll in and complete academic curriculum degrees, diplomas or certificate programs. In addition, students will develop leadership skills that positively influence their personal and professional communities. 

The program covers the cost of tuition and related fees after federal and state aid has been applied. Any Fairfield County high school graduate of a public, charter, private, state-approved home school or GED recipient who also resides in Fairfield County is eligible (see full eligibility requirements below). Students must enroll at MTC within thirty-six (36) months of high school graduation or GED completion.

Don’t hesitate! The funds are available on a first-come, first-served basis. There are only two steps. Apply to MTC, and complete your FAFSA.
