Overview
The Hazel Park Promise Zone Scholarship Program was created to eliminate finances as a barrier to higher education for Hazel Park students, to increase educational attainment in the community, and to incentivize families to move into or continue residing in the school district. It is a nonprofit organization founded in 2010 and is one of ten original “Promise Zones” created through legislation signed by Governor Granholm in 2009. The program guarantees a tuition-free path to an associate’s degree for students who reside in the district and attend Hazel Park Schools from 5th grade through graduation.
