Promise Scholarship

Why hasn’t anyone thought of this before? Whatever the case, it’s definitely a case of better-late-than-never for Harper College in Palatine, IL. Hopefully, many other colleges will follow.

Harper College now offers the “Promise Scholarship.”

Students can attend the two-year college tuition free. Yep, no cost for tuition. There are a few stipulations, but nothing that’s too much to ask. This program is targeted toward students that may not have a “straight-A” grade point average, and may not be able to afford higher education.

Students have to maintain a “C” average and carry 15 hours per semester. They also have to work 40 hours community service.
