"For kids with good grades, stellar behavior records and a college acceptance letter in hand, New Haven Promise is a dream come true.

But for students who need a little extra help qualifying for the benefit of free college tuition, College Summit is there to help.

Mayor John DeStefano Jr. and Superintendent of Schools Reginald Mayo in November announced the district’s partnership with College Summit as a component of the New Haven Promise college scholarship program. The program will be phased in at high schools throughout the district as a strategy of boosting college enrollment and participation in New Haven Promise. Hillhouse High School and Metropolitan Business Academy will join Co-Op next year in implementing the program."
