ASCENT

With Accelerating Students through Concurrent Enrollment (ASCENT), students get a tuition-free year of college after high school.  ASCENT is a fifth-year high school program where eligible students who have successfully completed at least 9 college credits prior to high school graduation can receive another year of college here at FRCC tuition free. While tuition is covered by the school district, students may be responsible for the cost of textbooks and fees.
