New Promise Partners

The Dallas County Promise Program is excited to welcome the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA), the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), and the University of North Texas (UNT) to the Promise family. They are still finalizing the details of each new institution’s scholarship offer, but we wanted students to know about all of the options that could be available to them this school year. As soon as agreements are formalize, they will update their website accordingly. Make sure to follow them on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram for the latest!
