Detroit Promise Path — acompañamiento para estudiantes de community college

Detroit Promise Path is the coaching component that complements the scholarship for community-college students. A Campus Coach helps connect students with campus services, organise the academic journey, and address transition barriers. It is not a separate scholarship that replaces the main application: students must first meet Detroit Promise rules and then confirm whether their campus has a coach.

The programme page says some Path participants may receive $50 per month and join a student network. To keep that support, it lists satisfactory academic progress—a 2.0 cumulative GPA and completion of about two-thirds of attempted credits—two coach meetings each month, communication, and an annual FAFSA. Confirm exact eligibility and payment timing with the campus; do not budget the stipend before approval.

Path is meant to make the transition to college easier, but the organisation says participation is encouraged and is not itself a condition of scholarship eligibility. The site lists coaches at selected campuses, including Henry Ford, Macomb, Oakland, and Schoolcraft; assignments may change. <a data-profile="detroit-promise">The Detroit Promise scholarship has its own verification and funding-gap calculation</a>. If you do not have a coach, ask the scholarship office what equivalent support your college offers.

Who it serves and what it can cover: Support alongside the scholarship: a campus coach, connections to college services, and—if participants meet progress and meeting rules—a $50 monthly stipend. The page says that not participating in Path does not by itself affect Detroit Promise scholarship eligibility.

How to apply or get help: Check the Path page for campuses with coaches and current requirements. Detroit Promise general phone: 313-596-0373. For case-specific questions, contact the program or financial-aid office named on its official page.
