FAQ
You can inquire about a Scholarship appeal with your school’s financial aid office. Unfortunately, if your appeal is denied or your school does not offer appeals, you are no longer eligible for Detroit Promise funding.
Detroit Promise does not cover balances due to No Show (NS) grades.
Each college has its own disbursement dates when scholarships are applied to accounts. Please contact your college’s financial aid office to inquire about their disbursement date. If you still have a balance near the end of the semester, please email us at info@detroitpromise.com
Detroit Promise does not pay for university students’ summer classes.
University students are encouraged to start classes in the Fall after their graduation. If you are considering a gap year, once you have been verified for your college you must reach out to the financial aid office for gap year approval. Approval is not guaranteed.
