What is the Promise Program?

The Promise Program is a support program that helps current and former Ketterer Charter School students take the next step after high school. The program provides financial assistance, life skills support, and academic guidance to help students enroll in college, succeed in their studies, and work toward a brighter future.

Our goal is simple: give young people the tools, resources, and encouragement they need to achieve long-term success.

What the Program Provides

Students in the Promise Program can receive, at no cost:

  • College Tuition
    An associate degree or certificate from their home community college.

  • Technology Resources
    A refurbished laptop, when needed, to support online learning and coursework.

  • Ongoing Guidance and Coaching
    A dedicated Promise coordinator helps students plan, apply, and stay on track academically, emotionally, and financially.

    These supports work together to improve the chances of college success, especially for students who may not have had access to these opportunities before.

“To me, Adelphoi Promise is a second chance. It lets me know that people haven’t given up on me and that they still believe in me. It is a great way to further my education and make something of myself. Without the proper resources I may not have had this chance but thanks to Adelphoi Promise I can become a better me.”

How the Promise Program Helps Students Succeed

The Promise Program is more than financial assistance — it’s a support system.

A Promise coordinator walks with students through the entire college process. This includes:

  • Exploring areas of interest
  • Completing college applications
  • Filling out financial aid and FAFSA forms
  • Scheduling placement tests
  • Checking in regularly to monitor progress
  • Encouraging family involvement and support

This hands-on guidance helps students stay confident, supported, and motivated throughout their education.

Continuing Education

Students who complete a certificate or associate degree,  and want to pursue a four-year degree,  may apply for additional support through Ketterer Charter School.

We believe in helping students continue their journey as far as they want to go.
