Mission Statement
The Montgomery County Ohio College Promise Program's mission is to identify, select, and support up to 500 Montgomery County, poverty impacted, eighth grade students within the next ten years that have shown academic promise so that the dream of attending and graduating from college becomes a reality.
Description
The College Promise program will provide a life changing opportunity for up to 50 Montgomery County students a year.
These students, whose lives have been impacted by poverty, will be identified and selected during their eighth grade year.
Each student will be supported through high school by an adult caring mentor who will meet with them weekly for 40-60 minutes at their school.
Upon successful completion of high school and the meeting of entrance requirements, students will be awarded scholarships that will allow them to attend Sinclair, Wright State, and other 4 year university partners at little to no cost to them or their families.
