​How does attending to the University of Rochester tuition-free sounds to you? Now the University of Rochester has renewed the Rochester Promise which is a tuition-free scholarship available to Rochester City School district students.
 
The scholarship was formed at the University in 2007, many RCSD students have taken advantage of the opportunity. The scholarship guarantees students of city high schools at least $100,000 in sponsored scholarships to attend the University of Rochester.
 
The government and the University worked together to provide the students full tuition for up to four years of enrollment if eligible. The four year value of each award will range from $145,000 to $192,000. To be eligible for the award students must have attended a district high school for their entire junior and senior years and must be admitted to the University of Rochester for the fall of 2008 or thereafter.
 
“The promise is to assure students in city schools today that their hard work in earning admission to college will also earn them financial support the require to succeed here” said Jonathan Burdick, dean of admission and financial aid at U Of R.
 
Also, if students are eligible to the Rochester Promise and the Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP), they will receive the maximum combination of the scholarship and move benefits for which they are eligible.

Nice article and thank you for telling students that the U of R can be a great option for them. I do want to point out that the Rochester Promise Scholarship at the U of R does not fully cover tuition, but a combination of this scholarship and other grants/scholarships from the U of R can pay for most of the cost of attendance for many RCSD students.

Great article about a wonderful opportunity for RCSD students at the U of R. I don't feel many students are aware of this opportunity, Thanks for sharing.
