To better meet the needs of high school students’ college selection and enrollment planning schedules, Gateway Technical College has extended the deadline for its Promise program to May 15.

The college will also hold workshops to guide interested students through the Gateway Promise program application process on all three of its campuses – Kenosha Campus, Racine Campus and Elkhorn Campus – in March and April.

To apply, students must be current high school seniors. They can find more information, and apply online, at www.gtc.edu/promise.

The Gateway Promise program is an effort fill the gap between financial aid and the cost of tuition and fees so that eligible students can gain access to the life-changing impact of a college degree.

More than 300 students are participating in the Gateway Promise program, and several have already graduated and gone on to the career of their dreams. Students in the program receive financial assistance, but also one-on-one support from the college to help them succeed in their studies and enter their career.
