Discover the real-life impact of Peoria Promise beyond academics, as students share their personal stories of transformation and growth.
View allPeoria Promise allowed me the ability to start my academic career, and explore topics and courses that would be useful for my future. I always felt supported in pursuing my dreams with Peoria Promise. Now, I have a Master's degree, am finishing my second Master's, and am beginning the process of applying for doctoral programs. I work as the Assistant Director of the Illinois Higher Education Center, and have a strong passion for diversity and inclusion in higher education. I know for a fact, I would not be where I am today if I had not been a Peoria Promise recipient.
