Good jobs are waiting, and Kankakee Community College is offering free tuition for in-demand programs. KCC’s career and technical programs offer hands-on education and flexible course plans. KCC has several options for students from all income levels to receive financial support, including grants for their education. Funds may cover tuition, fees, books, supplies and other support needs. The money doesn’t have to be repaid. Other financial aid must be applied before these grant funds are awarded.
Programs covered include:
If these hands-on programs aren’t the right fit, you can explore Kankakee Community College’s many other degree and certificate options—where financial aid and scholarships are available to help make your goals more affordable.
Associate degree graduates from KCC earn about $6,400 more per year than those with a high school diploma.
KCC has degrees and certificates that could position you for new opportunities. You can transfer after KCC to complete a bachelor's degree, or enter the workforce.
We care about your progress and want you to succeed. KCC's small class sizes, faculty and support services help you stay on track to graduate.

“Being in the MLT program has been more fulfilling than I imagined. I enjoy the hands-on labs taught by instructors who bring real-world experience into the classroom. What makes it most rewarding is knowing that everything I'm learning will help provide answers that lead to patient diagnoses.”
— Christiane Sims, current student“What made KCC a good choice is the cost of tuition. The (PTA) program prepared me for the many challenges I will face throughout my career and life. With problem solving skills of complex patients with many things going on with them and how to help a patient improve their quality of life.”

“My time in KCC's RN program was rigorous and profoundly rewarding. I have never been in an instructional setting where every instructor and advisor appeared to be there as your personal cheer squad.”
— Katie Kunz, '24“The new IT Program here at KCC is not only theoretical, but it's hands-on, it's relevant, and it is being built with the real-world in mind. KCC is building the launchpad I need to either transfer or jump straight into the IT world. The additional certificates you earn throughout this course will help ensure you a career after graduation or even before.”
