Seattle Colleges District

In 2018 Seattle Colleges partnered with the city of Seattle and Seattle Public Schools to launch Seattle Promise, a tuition covering program that aims to expand college access, success, and completion. Seattle Promise was part of the Families and Education Levy passed by citizens of Seattle during the local election of November 2018. In November 2025, Seattle citizens voted to renew the Families and Education Levy, funding the Seattle Promise program through 2032. This time the levy passed with nearly 80 percent voting yes. Seattle Promise offers graduating seniors of Seattle public schools paid tuition for up to two years or 90 credits as well as academic support and advising when they attend Seattle Colleges. ==Leadership and Governance==
