About Parent Promise

The Parent Promise expands higher education access in order to help students achieve a livable wage and strengthen the workforce pipeline.

Through the Parent Promise, parents with a child who has qualified for the Texoma Promise, have earned their GED or high school diploma and have not yet obtained a college-level certificate or degree can have the opportunity to earn a certificate, associate, with no out-of-pocket tuition or mandatory fee costs. Once enrolled, success coaching and career services are provided to all Promise Scholars throughout their time in college.

In partnership with Grayson College you can become eligible for this life-changing program!
