Every student deserves a future full of promise
The Michigan Promise Zone Association (MPZA) was formed in November 2016 to represent and promote Michigan’s Promise Zones, as well as foster collaboration and resource sharing among them. Promise Zones are designated through state law to make college scholarships available to all students within their respective localities. They are funded through private donations and captured growth in state property tax revenue.
This website explains how the Promise Zones work and how Michigan became the only state in the nation to encourage the creation of local Promise scholarship initiatives. It will also provide you with basic information about the individual Promise Zones and how to connect with each.
