Gov. Gina Raimondo first proposed the program in 2017.
WARWICK, RI — A proposed law would make Rhode Island's college scholarship program permanent. The RI Promise program, championed by Gov. Gina Raimondo, provides eligible residents with up to two years of free tuition at the Community College of Rhode Island.
The program, which has been in place for several years, is set to expire with the incoming class. If the bill becomes law, the scholarship will become permanent.
"The Promise program is an excellent example of how we can prioritize affordable college options for all Rhode Islanders," said House Speaker K. Joseph Shekarchi, the bill's House sponsor. "The best investment we can make to help individuals achieve their goals is to give them the access to a college education, which is the pathway to a brighter future."
