Central Arizona College boasts one of the most innovative commitments to higher education in the nation, with its Promise for the Future educational initiative. The program is designed to encourage students from Pinal County to stay in high school, graduate with a 2.75 grade point average, perform community service each year and pursue a college education. Students, along with their parents, sign a pledge during their eighth grade year to meet those goals. Students graduating from a Pinal County high school who have fulfilled the requirements of the Promise for the Future pledge will be eligible for up to four consecutive semesters of tuition-free education at CAC.
