In the first 3 years of the program, Peoria Promise funded a college education for more than 800 public school graduates. Peoria Promise is designed to create a better educated and more skilled workforce for our local economy. A better educated population means low crime rates, low teen pregnancy rates, higher high school graduation rates, increased tax revenues, and the list goes on and on. Please join the Promise and make Peoria an even better place to live.
