Welcome!
Let’s take the elephant out of the room.
College is promoted as the best option if we want students to live a fulfilling life with great pay, healthcare benefits, and all of the resources they need as an adult. Your child may be the first in your family to attend college, or the fifteenth – Dallas County Promise wants to help.
Dallas County Promise is an offer that we extend to students graduating from participating high schools to complete an associate or bachelor’s degree. Colleges and universities across North Texas have partnered with us to provide last-dollar scholarships to graduating high school seniors, covering tuition and fees after financial aid awards are applied.
We want to take the journey with your family and offer our support, coaching, and partner opportunities with your student’s future career and family in mind. Take a look at the student journey and how you can help your student make the transition from high school to college with their tuition and fees covered for 2-4 years!
