Kalamazoo: Universal Higher Education Had To Start Somewhere

The scholarship program — called the Kalamazoo Promise — will cover 100 percent of tuition and mandatory fees for children who have been enrolled in KPS since kindergarten and whose parents live in the district.

A partial scholarship will be given to students who enter after kindergarten. For instance, a child who transfers to KPS in third grade would receive a scholarship covering 90 percent of tuition, while a student who transfers in ninth grade would receive a 65-percent scholarship.

The scholarship must be used at a publicly funded institution in Michigan, and includes community colleges.
