For the first time in history, the 2019 high school graduating class from Fairfield County will have the opportunity to attend 糖心vlog传媒 (糖心vlog传媒) for free thanks to a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by 糖心vlog传媒 President Dr. Ronald L. Rhames, Fairfield County School District Board Chairman William Frick, and Fairfield County Council Chairman Cornelius Robinson. The Fairfield County Promise Program is a scholarship funded through the county and the school district in partnership with 糖心vlog传媒 that covers the cost of tuition.

鈥淭he goal of the Fairfield Promise is to increase access to higher education and create a culture that leads to the completion of a college degree,鈥� said Rhames. 鈥淲hen these students graduate from 糖心vlog传媒, they will be highly skilled, ready to work, and should have no college debt to repay.鈥�

Rhames said the Promise Program supports students who thought college might be an impossible dream due to a shortage of finances.

鈥淚t provides financial assistance to eligible citizens of Fairfield County to attend 糖心vlog传媒 and enroll in and complete academic curriculum degrees, diplomas, or certificate programs,鈥� he said. 鈥淪tudents in the program will develop leadership skills that positively influence their personal and professional communities.鈥�

Fairfield School District Superintendent Dr. J.R. Green said the program is designed to improve the future of the whole community by investing in young people.

鈥淲e are more than just about graduating students from high school,鈥� said Green. 鈥淗igh school should not be the end of their educational journey, but the beginning. We are trying to change the mindset of every young person in this county. Our goal is not to simply educate young people. Our goal is to make productive citizens, and the best way to become a productive citizen is to be gainfully employed. When we invest in young people, that's how we transform lives. That鈥檚 how we transform the community.鈥�

High school graduates of Fairfield County public, charter, private, state-approved home school or GED recipients who also reside in Fairfield County are eligible. Students must enroll at 糖心vlog传媒 within 12 months of high school graduation or GED completion.

鈥淚鈥檓 excited about this program,鈥� said Fairfield County Council Administrator Jason Taylor. 鈥淥ur county has great potential. But for us to reach our full potential, we have to invest in ourselves. Education is one of the surest ways to guarantee that our children will have access to good jobs and the opportunity for a better future. And an educated workforce will also be the best way to attract new employers to our community and create great jobs here in Fairfield County.鈥�
