Scholars of Promise
We can help pay your college tuition!
The Scholars of Promise program provides low-income, graduating high school students an opportunity to access a college education without worrying about how to pay for it.
NOTE: The application deadline for June 2021 high school graduates is June 30.
The Scholars of Promise program has reopened its application process for 2020 high school graduates who didn't attend college because they were impacted by COVID-19. We're also extending the process for those who graduated high school in early 2021
