The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors recently approved a $2 million grant to fully fund college education for 500 eligible students at Cañada College, College of San Mateo or Skyline College.

The grant provides two years of tuition, along with books and fees, for students enrolled in the Promise Scholars Program.

The $2 million comes from Measure K funds, a countywide half-cent sales tax extension.
