The Pittsburgh Promise

The Pittsburgh Promise is a nonprofit organization established in 2008 with the mission to provide scholarships to Pittsburgh Public School students who meet specific academic and residency criteria. The initiative aims to increase the number of students who pursue higher education and to enhance the educational landscape of Pittsburgh. The organization was founded in response to the need for improved educational opportunities and to combat the challenges faced by students in the city, particularly those from low-income families. The Promise provides financial support for college tuition, which is intended to encourage students to graduate from high school and pursue post-secondary education.
