THE COLLEGE PROMISE MISSION
MISSION STATEMENT: The Montgomery County Ohio College Promise Program’s mission is to identify, select, and support Montgomery County, poverty impacted students, who have shown academic promise, so the dream of attending and graduating from college becomes a reality.
Student Commitment
College Promise Scholars sign a contract that pledges they will be alcohol, tobacco, and drug free; be crime free; practice good citizenship; maintain a strong record of school attendance; achieve the required grade point average; participate in school, community, or faith-based activities; and attend weekly meetings their mentor.
Mentoring
A mentor is a caring adult who freely gives their own time to a young person. A mentor can have a profound effect on the amount of success that a young person might have. To a young person, a mentor guarantees that there is someone who cares and that they are not alone in dealing with the everyday challenges they face.
Impact
By breaking the cycle of poverty for Montgomery County Students, the College Promise Program has a profound impact on not only their quality of life but also the great community. By attaining their college education at a regional college or university, College Promise students will be attractive for Montgomery County employers, which will retain our investment at home.
