NBC Nightly News: Promise ‘Making a Difference’
The Kalamazoo Promise was featured on NBC Nightly News’s “Making a Difference” report recently. The scholarship was instituted in 2005 and is funded entirely by anonymous donors. It guarantees every student who graduates after at least four years in a Kalamazoo high school at least 65 percent of tuition at an in-state college.
Excerpt: “I just need to do well,” Promise recipient Zach Julian told NBC Nightly News. “I can’t let the people down. … Even though I don’t know who they are.”
