The Buchanan Promise provides up to four (4) years of support, at a maximum of $3,750 per school year (depending on your scholarship funding percentage level), to be used for educational expenses toward a degree or certificate/training, including, tuition, fees, books, room & board, that is charged through an account maintained at your institution (it is important that you see your tax advisor regarding taxability of the Buchanan Promise). No grants will be disbursed directly to any student. Promise funds expire within six years after high school graduation and are meant to be paid out equally over that period (i.e., we will not pay out the total award in any given year). Exceptions to this requirement can be granted for active military service. You must notify the Buchanan Promise office of all student contact information changes AS THEY OCCUR. This includes home and school addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and changes in the school. You will be sent a link for WHERE where you MUST accept your Promise award. You will be removed from all consideration for a Promise Scholarship if you do not log in and take your award by 07/15/2024. The online form will allow you to defer your award by checking a box. If you are using your award this fall, you will need to provide us with enrollment verification, including an enrollment letter, class schedule, or tuition statement with your student ID#.
