New Haven Promise

New Haven and Yale University announced that the New Haven Promise Program will pick up the tuition tab for New Haven public high school graduates to go to college at any Connecticut state college or university. Yale University will be doing most of the funding for the program and though it will begin with the current seniors, full funding will happen when the current freshmen graduate. This year's seniors will receive 25% funding.

There will be several eligibility requirements, students must maintain a 3.0 GPA during high school and a 2.5 while attending college. They must also have at least a 90% atendance record in high school and a community service requirement of 40 hours must also be met.

The New Haven Promise is modelled after Michigan's Kalamazoo Promise Scholarships. You can get more information about the program at http://www.ournewhaven.org.
