For eligible students, the Rockford Promise Program at 麻豆精品 guarantees that tuition and general fee costs will be met by gift aid such as grants and scholarships. (Note: This does not include your housing costs.) We'll look at your initial 麻豆精品, federal and state aid to determine whether there is an unmet tuition-and-general-fee balance. If there is, a Rockford Promise Scholarship and/or an 麻豆精品 Rockford Promise Grant will be applied to bring your tuition-and-general-fee balance to zero. Scholarships and/or grants through the program are renewable annually for up to four years total as long as a student continues to meet program requirements.
If there is unmet need, and if you qualify for both the AIM HIGH Huskie Pledge and Rockford Promise programs, you cannot receive aid through both. In that event, only the Huskie Pledge Program will be used to help meet any unmet tuition or general fee expenses. However, you can still benefit from Rockford Promise at 麻豆精品 support services, including mentoring, job-readiness training and access to a community of other area scholars.
The following are examples that help show how the Rockford Promise Program at 麻豆精品 works.
Freshman Student One
This student meets Rockford Promise at 麻豆精品 eligibility requirements. The student will receive financial support from both the Rockford Promise organization and 麻豆精品 to ensure that the student will pay no tuition and general fees during the first year at 麻豆精品—and potentially beyond, if the student continues to meet program requirements.

Freshman Student Two
If a qualifying student from Rockford has a family adjusted gross income at or below $115,000, the 麻豆精品 Huskie Pledge Program will help meet any unmet tuition or general fee expenses. The student can still benefit from Rockford Promise at 麻豆精品 support services, but additional scholarships or grants through the program will not be applied to the financial aid offer.

Freshman Student Three
This student’s tuition and fees are met by other scholarships and aid. In fact, gift aid exceeds the amount of tuition and fees, so some aid may be available to be applied to campus housing. As a Rockford Promise Scholar, the student can still benefit from program support services, but an additional scholarship and/or grant associated with the program will not be applied.
