Francisco Zavala
"It’s helped me by allowing me to focus on my studies instead of working or taking
a gap year so I could afford to go to college. Now I’m saving up more money in the
long run for a university and focusing on making better grades for future scholarships."
Lara Hunyh
"When my parents and I first heard about Promise, we thought it might be too good
to be true. After we learned more, it was like we struck gold. My parents were excited
that my tuition would be free.”

“Two years ago, I had no idea what I wanted to do in life or how I was going to pursue
a career. Now I have a full plan to succeed and am on pace to achieve all my goals.”

my family to attend college."

income that allows my family and me to do more for ourselves."

grades were good, I still wasn’t getting accepted into the colleges and universities
I had applied to, and I remembered San Jac had the Promise program."
