Our kids. Our community. Our promise.
At the Lansing Promise we believe in the inherent worth of every young person in this city—and we invest accordingly by providing post-secondary scholarship dollars and strategic supports to all eligible Lansing students, helping every child achieve their potential. In doing so, we are establishing an important socio-economic building block within Michigan’s capital region.
THE PROMISE SCHOLARSHIP
Learn about eligibility, what the Promise covers and how to apply.
WHAT IS OUR PROMISE?
The Lansing Promise is a place-based scholarship program taking an active role in the success of our current and future scholars. When a student lives, attends and graduates within the Lansing School District boundaries, 9th through 12th grades from a public, private, home, charter, online or GED program, they are a potential Promise scholar.
Upon acceptance, each scholar is eligible to receive gap-filling tuition assistance at Lansing Community College, which includes all tuition, course fees, and books necessary to complete an associates degree. Should a scholar wish to earn a bachelor’s degree, they may choose to receive an award of up to $10,000 toward their first two years at Michigan State University, The University of Olivet, Davenport University or Douglas J Aveda Institute. Finally, a scholar may also choose to use their scholarship support becoming certified in a skilled or professional trade through a local Promise-approved trades program.
We believe.
It was belief that sparked the Lansing Promise. And it is our belief in this next generation that will keep it going strong.
