Gateway Promise graduate

The Gateway Promise Program

Make your college dreams a reality with the Gateway Promise program! Through the Gateway Promise program, eligible high school seniors can attend Gateway tuition-free. The program helps fill the gap between financial aid and the cost of Gateway’s tuition and fees for students who meet eligibility requirements. Promise students also receive additional support, like one-on-one coaching and a summer Scholars program, to help you achieve your graduation goals.

Apply to the Gateway Promise program in just two easy steps:

  1. Submit your Gateway application for admission by June 1, 2023 July 15, 2023 (deadline extended) and be sure to indicate in the Academic History section that you are interested in the Gateway Promise. 
  2. Submit your Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) by June 1, 2023 July 15, 2023 (deadline extended).

That’s all you need to do! A Promise program staff member will contact you to inform you of your Promise enrollment status.
