NEWAYGO COUNTY AREA PROMISE ZONE

The Newaygo County Area Promise Zone provides high school graduates with a tuition-free path to an associate degree from at least one institution.  We believe every student, regardless of financial means, should have the opportunity to earn post-secondary credentials.

The Newaygo County Area Promise Zone is pleased to share that there is a significant shift in our GPA eligibility criteria. Students who earn a minimum final and unweighted high school GPA of 2.5 can now be eligible for our Promise Scholarship.  Students who earn a minimum final and unweighted 2.0 GPA will have access to Promise Zone support in pursuing an apprenticeship.  We are eager to assist and empower even more driven students in achieving their higher education aspirations!

WHY IS THE PROMISE IMPORTANT?

• Raises educational attainment.
• Creates a culture of education.
• Increases college readiness and success.
• Provides opportunities to all of our children.
