Del Mar College's board of regents held a workshop today to hear a presentation and vote on the Freedom to Dream tuition waiver program.
The board unanimously approved the new program set to launch in 2025 which will cover tuition and fees for up to three years and use funding from the college before students draw money from scholarships or financial aid.
The program hopes this will allow students to use the resources typically going towards tuition to instead go towards living expenses and other costs so that students can attend Del Mar full time.
