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.

Transforming A Life,
Transforming A Region: The Power of Education
Wednesday, April 14 | 8-9:00am
It's no secret that developing a talented, robust workforce is key to a thriving local economy. But, understanding exactly how education relates to the economic welfare and workforce depth in a community is a long-term strategy that can feel daunting and, at times, unattainable. Fortunately, the Rockford Community has a blueprint for success - Promise Programs.
Join us for an interactive conversation with Rockford Promise, Alignment Rockford, and special guest speaker Saleem Ghubril Executive Director of Pittsburgh Promise on how education truly can transform a life, and a region. Hosted by the Rockford Chamber of Commerce.

RVC Scholars Host Drive for Family Peace Center!
The Scholar-led Rockford Promise RVC Chapter provides opportunities for RVC Scholars to stay connected, and support each other throughout their academic journey. On March 16th, they hosted a baby item drive at RVC to support the Rockford Family Peace Center. While the club is geared towards promoting social involvement in which Scholars can develop their skills, they want to take on opportunities to give back and become active members of their community.
Accepting donations until March 19th, 2021.
Drop off at Student Center, first floor, Student Life Office.
Thursday & Friday 8am- 5pm.
