Moraine Park Promise
COLLEGE IS POSSIBLE WITH MORAINE PARK PROMISE
At Moraine Park, we believe that higher education should be available to all that desire it. The Moraine Park Promise scholarship program is designed to remove financial barriers and make a college education available to every hard-working high school senior who could not otherwise afford it. It creates a partnership between the student and Moraine Park, so together we can make college possible.
Additional Details
- HOW IT WORKS
The Moraine Park Promise scholarship program provides every eligible incoming high school student in the MPTC district with the opportunity to earn an associate degree or technical diploma at Moraine Park if they earn solid grades, live in the MPTC district, graduate from a high school or home school in the district and are eligible for federal financial aid.
Thanks to the generosity of our Moraine Park Foundation, Inc. donors, the Moraine Park Promise scholarship will pay the remaining balance of tuition and fees, after federal and state grants and scholarships have been applied. This is available to eligible students for up to five consecutive semesters (minimum 12 credits per semester; does not include summer semester).
- GETTING STARTED
- Select a Moraine Park program. Not sure what program is the best fit for you? Let us help, or talk with your high school counselor and check out these other great MPTC resources.
- Apply for admission to Moraine Park Technical College. There are several ways to do this: when a Moraine Park representative visits your school, online, or by visiting any of our three Moraine Park campus locations.
- Apply for financial aid (FAFSA).
Once you’ve completed all three steps -- by April 15, 2019 -- we’ll do the rest to determine your eligibility for the Promise scholarship as well as our other scholarships available to incoming high school seniors.
