the Montgomery County Ohio College Promise Program has recently selected their third cohort of 53 College Promise Scholars and are actively recruiting mentors to serve them.
Their mission is to identify, select and support up to 500 Montgomery County, poverty impacted, eighth grade students within the next 10 years that have shown academic promise so that the dream of attending and graduating from college becomes a reality.
