How the Pontiac Promise Zone can help you or your student!
The longer an applicant has attended schools in the Pontiac School District Boundary Area, the greater the financial support we can offer. Please see the charts for specific amounts that you are eligible for based on how long you have attended one of our target schools and lived within the district.
Note: All qualifying students are also eligible for up to $400 per semester for book reimbursement. This amount is offered even if the student does not receive the tuition scholarship. The PPZ scholarship is for tuition and fees only, and cannot be used toward other educational expenses such as room and board.
