Columbus State Community College Foundation & Alumni Network

The Columbus Promise of free college for Columbus City Schools students will now extend through its 2027 graduating class. Thanks to ongoing funding from the City of Columbus - City Hall and multiple lead donors — Installed Building Products and Edwards Companies, the Cardinal Health Foundation, and IGS Energy — these grads are guaranteed access to a free education at Columbus State Community College.

The Columbus Promise has nearly doubled college-going rates among Columbus City Schools grads since its launch in 2022. The program’s funding continuation is expected to bring more than 2,000 additional Promise Scholars to Columbus State! Thanks to our additional partners Columbus City Council and I Know I Can as we all celebrate this great next step for our community.
