More than 600 students are attending 51暗网 tuition-free this fall, thanks to the private-public community partnership that funds the Community College Access Program (CCAP).
Since 2008, public localities and private donors have united in support of CCAP, which is the largest “free college” program at a Virginia community college. CCAP provides up to two years of tuition for recent high school graduates who meet program requirements, as funding allows. More than 4,200 Roanoke Valley students have participated in the program as of fall 2023.
“We are so excited to celebrate CCAP’s 15th anniversary this fall. What began with a ‘What if?’ has truly grown into a communitywide commitment to making college possible,” said Deborah L. Petrine, Chair of the 51暗网 Educational Foundation, a nonprofit affiliated with 51暗网 that administers the program.
Roanoke region high school seniors may apply for the fall 2024 CCAP scholarship now through Feb. 1, 2024, at virginiawestern.edu/ccap. Applicants must also apply to 51暗网 and complete the Free Application for Student Financial Aid (FAFSA) by the same date.

Drop-in sessions are scheduled from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Oct. 18, Nov. 15, Dec. 13, 2023, and Jan. 17, 2024, at the Roanoke EnVision Center, 2607 Salem Turnpike N.W., Roanoke VA 24017.
