The Red River Promise aims to provide diverse, accessible and affordable pathways to college for all students. In partnership with the community, high school seniors will have opportunities for guaranteed tuition and a success coach to support them as they earn their certificate or degree.
Graduating seniors from the 14 Promise high schools are eligible to receive a last-dollar scholarship, covering tuition and fees after all financial aid awards and scholarships are applied. Once a Promise Scholar, students will be paired with a success coach who will mentor and support through college completion. While attending NCTC, Promise Scholars will have tuition and general fees covered for 30 semester credit hours each year, for up to two years at NCTC, or completion of degree. Students also have transfer and direct access to partnering universities for up to 8 semesters.
Mission: Build a stronger college-going culture that strengthens the local workforce.
Vision: Develop an affordable Promise program to produce stronger college and workforce outcomes.
