Seniors who graduate from Chief Sealth High School in West Seattle have a new price for their first year of college – free. The president of South Seattle Community College says it’ll give one-year tuition scholarships to any student who gets a diploma and fills out a couple of forms.
The 13th year promise scholarship doesn’t require students to get a 4.0. Family finances don’t matter either. Administrators at South Seattle Community College say they want to remove any barriers that keep kids from getting a higher education.
