Long Beach Unified Students
On March 20, 2008, education leaders from the Long Beach Unified School District (LBUSD), Long Beach City College (LBCC) and California State University Long Beach (CSULB) announced and signed the Long Beach College Promise. The three education entities promise all LBUSD students the opportunity to receive a college education. Beginning in fall 2008, the Promise provides a variety of educational benefits and services including:
- A Tuition Free Semester at LBCC: As part of their Gateway to Greatness program, LBCC commits to providing a tuition-free semester to every LBUSD student by 2011.
- Guaranteed College Admission: CSULB commits to accepting all students who complete minimum college preparatory or minimum community college transfer requirements.
- Early and Continued Outreach: All three institutions will begin student and family outreach services in fourth grade and continue them through college to ensure college entrance requirements are fulfilled and students are successful.
- Multiple Pathway Support: All three institutions will support the various college pathways students may choose based on their personal situation and interests

You can earn money to pay for college by doing things that will improve your chances of getting into many colleges and universities. Every time you achieve a goal like getting good grades or doing extracurricular activities, you can earn micro-scholarships that begin adding up as early as 9th grade. Raise.me lets you keep track of your achievements/the money you earn and also can also help you earn more scholarships from Raise.me's more than 180 partner-colleges and universities like Michigan State, Oberlin, Carnegie Mellon, Arizona State, and the University of Rochester.
There are five service academies in the United States. Four of the academies require a nomination from an authorized nominating source. Each academy offers young men and women a FREE college education at a highly-ranked, nationally-recognized academic program while preparing them for an officer's commission in the armed forces. The academies are:
U.S. Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, Colorado
U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, New York
U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York
U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland
The fifth service academy, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy at New London, Connecticut is the only one that does not require a Congressional nomination. Visit each service academy's website for additional information.

Cal Grant Awards are free money provided by the State of California to help pay for the cost of college. If you have a graduating high school senior, who meets academic, financial and eligibility requirements, your child may qualify to receive a Cal Grant.
Long Beach Unified will electronically submit your Cal Grant GPA verification for every senior in the district to the California Student Aid Commission so they may be considered for a Cal Grant award, but you must submit your own FAFSA.
