High School Students

Cecil College offers courses taught by college faculty at CCPS high schools during the regular school day for juniors and seniors. These courses are free to students through the CCPS to CECIL Dual Enrollment Scholarship.

High school students have the opportunity to satisfy secondary school requirements while also receiving Cecil College credit. This requires prior approval from both the student’s high school and Cecil College.

• Cecil College offers the CCPS to CECIL Dual Enrollment Scholarship for Cecil County Public School (CCPS) students. CCPS juniors and seniors can take designated courses for free with guidance counselor approval.
• Cecil College also offers a College Bound Scholarship for other in-county high school students such as homeschool and private school students.
