The AlamoPROMISE program makes college more accessible to graduating seniors by providing the support necessary to earn a certificate or associate's degree at one of the five Alamo Colleges: Northeast Lakeview College, Northwest Vista College, Palo Alto College, San Antonio College, and St. Philip's College.

Don’t forget to continue working on required enrollment steps, including:

• Complete the AlamoENROLL modules in AlamoNAVIGATE located on the ACES Start Here tab.
  
  
• Take the Texas Success Initiative Assessment (TSI) or submit eligible test scores.
  
  
• Submit proof of your bacterial meningitis vaccine.
  
  
• Complete financial aid verification, if notified by the Financial Aid Office of selection by the Department of Education.
  
  
• Complete New Student Orientation prior to the start of Fall 2020 semester.
  
  
• Enroll in 9 or more semester credit hours in Fall 2020.

As a reminder, all AlamoPROMISE Scholars are required to participate in a Career Exploration Camp before the Fall 2020 semester.

Also, AlamoPROMISE Scholars who have TSI scores below college-readiness standards, or who have a high school grade point average of 79 or below, must complete a Summer Bridge Program before the Fall 2020 semester. 

More information will be shared in the coming weeks.

It ensures that tuition and mandatory fees at the Alamo Colleges are covered for Bexar County students who graduate from participating high schools. As last-dollar funding, AlamoPROMISE covers the gap between financial aid and the cost of tuition for up to three years. Your household income does not disqualify you and because we know plans sometimes change, you are not locked into a commitment.
