Dallas County Promise

Welcome

Dallas County Promise covers the cost of tuition at any of the seven campuses of Dallas College for up to three years or the completion of an associate degree (whichever comes first).

Promise Scholars will also be matched with a success coach who will serve as a mentor to help students beginning at the end of their senior year through to college completion.

About Dallas County Promise

Seniors in Promise high schools planning to attend one of the seven Dallas College campuses are eligible to become Promise Bound. To qualify, they must complete all Promise deadlines including completing the Promise Path. 

Once you complete an associate degree (two-year) at one of the seven Dallas College campuses, you are eligible to transfer to Dallas County Promise partner four-year universities, with your last-dollar scholarship guaranteed contingent on meeting income and GPA requirements. Some partner four-year universities also have options for you to attend directly after graduating high school. View the full list of Dallas County Promise partner colleges.
