Since 2014, Michigan Colleges Alliance (MCA) has proudly partnered with the nationally acclaimed Kalamazoo Promise Program to expand college opportunities for students benefiting from the Kalamazoo Promise Scholarship. This transformative initiative has provided over $100 million in scholarships, empowering countless students from Kalamazoo to pursue higher education. MCA’s 15 private colleges and universities are honored to be among the select schools eligible for this incredible scholarship program.
In the summer of 2024, this partnership reached new heights through collaboration with our Cooperative Learning Collaborative (CLC) program. By integrating Promise scholars into the CLC, we created an enriching professional development experience, equipping students with essential skills for their future careers. Together, MCA and the Higher Promise Program are committed to shaping a brighter future, ensuring that access to quality education and meaningful growth opportunities remain at the forefront of our mission.
