CRAVEN COUNTY, N.C. (WITN) – A college here in the East is scheduled to host an information session for high school students looking to get a head start on college.

Craven Community College is inviting students and parents to join them in learning about the career and college promise program which is also known as C-C-P.

C-C-P is a tuition-free, dual-enrollment program that allows high school juniors and seniors a chance to earn early college credits.

The program only requires students to pay for textbooks and software saving them time and money towards a college degree.

Only students that live in Craven County are eligible for the program including public, private, and home-schooled students.

The information session takes place today at 5:30 P.M. inside the Orringer Auditorium on the New Bern campus.
