Rockford Promise

It’s National School Picture Day, so naturally, we had to dig into the archives. 📸

Before we were board members, staff members, fundraisers, and advocates, we were students, too.

And we have the school pictures to prove it.

For 20 years, Rockford Promise has been built by people who believe in what can happen when a student has the opportunity, support, and people in their corner to keep moving forward.

On September 24, we’re bringing some of those stories together at the Platinum Promise Gala as we celebrate where Rockford Promise started, the people who helped build it, and the Scholars at the center of where we’re going next.

Consider this our contribution to National School Picture Day — questionable hairstyles and all.

Join us for the Platinum Promise Gala on September 24 at the Rockford Public Library.

DID YOU KNOW? 💡

A Rockford Promise scholarship is just one part of the support Scholars receive.

Every Scholar is assigned a Scholar Support Coordinator who is with them throughout their college journey, helping them navigate challenges, connect to resources, and stay on track. Additionally, each first-year Scholar is also paired with a mentor, providing another layer of encouragement, connection, and guidance during that critical first year.

Last year alone, our team and mentors spent 1,741 hours directly with Scholars.

And through workforce development opportunities, Scholars are also building the skills, experiences, and connections they need for what comes after graduation.

Because Rockford Promise is about more than getting students to college — it’s about helping them succeed while they’re there and prepare for what comes next. …
