Durham Technical Community College announced Tuesday that students who graduated from a North Carolina high school this year or who graduated from a North Carolina high school in 2021 can attend Durham Tech this fall tuition-free.
The full cost of tuition for eligible 2021 and 2022 North Carolina high school graduates classified as North Carolina residents by the Residency Determination Services (RDS) who enroll for the Fall 2022 semester. Eligibility extends to high school equivalency earners, those who complete an Adult High School diploma, and those who are home-schooled.
Durham Tech’s tuition-free initiative is a scholarship supplement to the North Carolina Longleaf Commitment Grant, which covers tuition based on family income.
Students who wish to pursue a bachelor's degree in Clinical Research may complete the Associate in Science (AS) degree or complete an AAS degree that will transfer to Campbell University.
Project Skilling Up provides help in exploring contemporary career paths and resources regarding employment possibilities in the area. For students who reside in Durham or Orange counties, Project Skilling Up can provide funding for tuition or books for curriculum and Continuing Education training.
