I understand that Promise for Adults is a last-dollar scholarship. If I am eligible, the Promise will cover my tuition after grants and scholarships are applied.
I understand that Promise for Adults does not cover books, program fees, and equipment and that I must pay for these using financial aid or another method of payment.
I understand that to meet the final eligibility requirements for the program I must be enrolled in at least 9 college-level credits on the financial aid census date.
I understand that if I am not enrolled in at least 9 credits on the financial aid census date that I will not be eligible for Promise and will need to pay my tuition.
I understand that to continue in the Promise for Adults I must: enroll in at least 9 college-level credits each Fall and Spring semester, complete a FAFSA annually and remain income eligible, complete 67% of the credits I attempt each semester, and earn a 2.0 GPA or higher each semester.
I understand that if I have federal student loans in default I must complete additional requirements in order to remain Promise eligible, in addition to all of the academic requirements outlined above.
I understand that if I pursue a technical diploma I have up to 4 semesters of Promise funding. If I pursue an associates degree, I have up to 7 semesters of Promise funding. If I choose to change programs, I will not be given additional time to complete.
I understand that Promise funding ends when I complete my program declared on this application - even if that graduation is before the 4 or 7 semester funding limit and will not cover any additional academic programs.
I understand that to be eligible I must be a returning adult learner (age 24 or over) and cannot have attended college summer 2025, spring 2025, fall 2024, or summer 2024. Any attendance at any college during that time would make me ineligible.
