ROCKFORD PROMISE
What if we could promise every graduate of Rockford Public School District 205 the encouragement, mentorship and financial support necessary to earn a college degree?
Every student would have a path to post-secondary education.
Potential residents would enthusiastically choose our community because of the opportunities for their kids.
Businesses would want to locate here because of the availability of a talented workforce.
That’s the vision of Rockford Promise, a non-profit 501(c)(3) location-based scholarship program modeled after promise programs around the nation.

Students at Rockford University are being setup for success all because of its partnership with Rockford Promise. How students are set to graduate debt free.Board President Susan Covington-Fumo took her RP mentee out for axe throwing to blow off some steam after first semester. Alyssa Giardono is a senior nursing major with honors at Rockford University!
Did you know? We currently have four Rockford Promise RVC Scholar graduates continuing their education and pursuing a Bachelors at Rockford University (and more on the way!). While these transfers are not funded by RP, we find this to be a great local option for students desiring to complete further degrees.
Congratulations , Alyssa!! ❤️@[230769177415064:11809:]
