South Texas College has unveiled its new Valley Promise program, a groundbreaking initiative that provides high school seniors in Hidalgo and Starr counties with a guaranteed pathway to obtain a certificate or an associate’s degree free of charge. This program is set to revolutionize access to higher education for students in the region.
Currently, the program is exclusive to seniors in Hidalgo and Starr counties, but plans are underway to eventually extend the opportunity to all students from the four Valley counties. One beneficiary of the program, a student from Valley View High School, expressed her excitement about starting her college journey without the burden of financial concerns. She encourages other students to seize similar opportunities, emphasizing that the Valley Promise program opens doors to a brighter future.
The Valley Promise program is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for both current and future students to pursue higher education without worrying about tuition and other expenses. The initiative underscores the importance of making education accessible and affordable to all students, providing them with the tools they need to succeed in their careers and contribute to their communities.
The first group of students benefiting from the Valley Promise program will begin their classes this fall. For more information on how to apply and take advantage of this incredible opportunity, visit ValleyPromise.org.
