The Promise+Plus Program is a combination of financial and support services to help first-time, college students
be successful in their first two years of college. The program is for California Residents/AB540
eligible, first-time college students, that have never attended college (excluding
Dual/Concurrent enrollment, Special Admit). Interested students must start their college
experience at Mt. SAC in the Summer term through either the Summer Bridge or STEP
Into College program. Eligible summer program students that complete the participation
requirements, will start receiving benefits in their first Fall semester. The college
is physically closed to visitors as a safety precaution against the spread of COVID-19.
Although we are unable to assist you in person, the information on this website is
designed to inform new incoming students and current promise students. For more information
