Great River Promise Scholarship

This local promise program provides tuition and mandatory fee coverage to high school graduates from designated areas who meet strict attendance and conduct standards. Designed to encourage positive behavior and academic persistence, the award helps local students access higher education. Recipients must enroll in a minimum number of credit hours each semester and file the federal student aid application. The award acts as a last-dollar scholarship, meaning it is applied after all other forms of financial aid have been exhausted. It can be renewed for up to three years if the student maintains continuous enrollment and meets the cumulative grade point average standards.
