Project Promise
Project Promise is a Student Support Services federal TRIO program

to Make Individuals Successful in Education.” This program helps qualified
students deal effectively with all aspects of college life, from entrance
through graduation and/or transfer to a four-year college or university. Since
Project Promise is federally funded, students must apply to participate in the

field trips, cultural enrichment activities, support groups, career exploration,
and free workshops. Project Promise services are offered free for students
who meet eligibility requirements. The Project Promise offices are located in
Kennedy Hall.
