With graduation day in sight, the Contra Costa College Foundation has just given Contra Costa College’s May 2021 graduating class the ultimate gift by erasing all of its leftover debt, clearing away outstanding fees owed to the college. With this move, the foundation has ensured through The Finish Line Fund that no students set to graduate in May will be denied a diploma due to money owed to the school.
“Imagine the sigh of relief these students are taking right now. The Finish Line Fund is another example of how the foundation is stepping up for our students during this difficult pandemic,” said Contra Costa College Interim President Damon A. Bell. “By erasing this debt for over 60 students, the foundation is empowering students to move forward, whether it’s onto their continued educational journeys or meaningful careers.”
