Steps to Apply and Eligibility
What Promise Scholars Say
Once I received the Promise Scholarship, I began to excel in academic life at San Jac. I am beyond grateful for receiving Promise funding because it is fulfilling my dreams, my career, and my future.
Now that I’m attending college through the Promise Scholarship, it’s helped save income that allows my family and me to do more for ourselves.
My parents don’t have to worry about paying out of pocket for tuition. Being a first-generation college student, Promise is allowing me to be the first person in my family to attend college.
