Moraine Park Technical College Promise Program Starts This Fall

Moraine Park Technical College’s new Promise program is scheduled to start this fall 2018.  The inaugural class in this program features 33 students who will get to take advantage of a unique, tuition-free, college opportunity.  The Promise program was announced in April of 2017, and offers those in the program five consecutive semesters of free college tuition, as well as additional services including mentoring, tutoring, career guidance, financial aid workshops, and counseling services.  Geared towards low-income students the purpose of the program is to offer the opportunity for a college education to individuals who otherwise couldn’t afford it. It will also help to address the employment gaps across the workforce by supplying businesses with skilled and educated individuals.  More information about the Promise program is available at their website morainepark.edu/promise
