The Pittsburgh Promise benefits our kids, our families, our city, and our region in ways that we have yet to imagine.
Shorter commutes. Walkable neighborhoods. Lower fuel costs. It all adds up.
Students who further their education after high school will earn more money and be better prepared to join today's workforce. More than 700 graduates from the class of 2008 are already
on their way, using Promise
scholarship money to attend
schools across the state
of Pennsylvania.

For students from low-income families, The Pittsburgh Promise makes college an option. For students from middle-income families, college is more affordable because it supplements Federal and State grants, reducing the Expected Family Contribution.
A comprehensive reform program means students are working harder, teachers are expecting more, and administrators are implementing changes that will enable kids to reach their goals of a college education.
A highly skilled pool of employees will attract new businesses to the region, and encourage others to stay. The region will enjoy an increased tax base. Residents will have their pick of higher paying jobs.
Affordable housing in vibrant city neighborhoods, plus quality schools
that are growing even stronger
make Pittsburgh the ideal choice
for families.
