Promises Made Possible

The Promise @ San Jac Scholarship gives students the chance to dream big and shine in careers without the burden of student debt. And it creates a stronger workforce in our communities that we know is important to you and critical to the economic success of our region. By becoming a Promise @ San Jac donor, you play a vital role for future Promise Scholars by building a brighter future and stronger community.

The San Jacinto College Foundation Promise campaign's vision is bold. We strive to provide every graduating high school senior in our district access to a debt-free education.

In Texas, community college students graduate with an average of $10,000 in student loan debt. This can make a pathway to higher education out of reach for many students.

We believe there is a better way. That's why San Jacinto College is promising a bold vision for students in our area. We will remove financial barriers that keep students from pursuing their educational dreams.

With your financial help, we promise our students to turn impossible to I’m possible!

"It’s helped me by allowing me to focus on my studies instead of working or taking a gap year so I could afford to go to college. Now I’m saving up more money in the long run for a university and focusing on making better grades for future scholarships."

"When my parents and I first heard about Promise, we thought it might be too good to be true. After we learned more, it was like we struck gold. My parents were excited that my tuition would be free."
