AVAILABLE TO HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS GRADUATING IN 2020
Take The First Step TOWARD ALAMOPromiseThe AlamoPROMISE program makes college more accessible to graduating seniors by providing the support necessary to earn a certificate or associate degree at one of the five Alamo Colleges: Northeast Lakeview College, Northwest Vista College, Palo Alto College, St. Philip’s College and San Antonio College.
It ensures that tuition and fees at the Alamo Colleges are covered for students who graduate from participating high schools. As a last-dollar funding, AlamoPROMISE covers the gap between financial aid and the cost of tuition for up to three years. 100% of your tuition and mandatory fees will be covered. Your household income does not disqualify you, and because we know plans sometimes change, you are not locked into a commitment.
