The Promise Journey illustrates a Promise student’s path to success, supported by our programs and services at every stage — on the way to college, through their college experience, and upon their return to the greater New Haven region.
Through: College Success
New Haven Promise motivates scholars to graduate from college within four years by offering renewable scholarships and support. The program encourages FAFSA completion, leverages guaranteed institutional aid, and recruits peer leaders and mentors to guide scholars on campus. Through hosted internship and career fairs, scholars are placed in paid summer internships in their fields of interest. By partnering with colleges and universities, New Haven Promise ensures that each scholar receives the comprehensive support needed to succeed academically and professionally.
