The fire also enabled the school to fast track construction-related programs that will train students to aid in the rebuilding effort.
Almost a year after the Camp Fire burned its way through Butte County, California, a local college is still feeling the effects of the flames in its enrollment numbers.
While the fire is no longer burning, residents in Northern California are still grappling with the aftermath of the flames. Many people remain displaced by the destruction of thousands of homes. The devastation caused some residents to pick up and move to another state entirely. "The Camp Fire is the primary cause of the loss of students," DeLaby said."Over 1,475 students lived in the Camp Fire area, and many lost their homes or were displaced. We know many of those students have had to move out of the area to find housing."
DeLaby credited the Promise Scholarship Program for students taking on a heavier workload. To be eligible for the program, students must be first-time, full-time students, and must enroll in at least 12 units. The program covers tuition and fees that financial aid packages often do not and is good for two years.
