LAUNCH - Special Scholarships Program New Student Orientation

It was a good learning experience. I learned all about the requirements of the promise scholarship such as the 10 involvement hours and the 30 credits per semester. Hearing from the panel of current promise scholarship holders at pgcc was very helpful and answers a few questions I didn’t even know I had. Overall a great experience to learn more into my commencement of college.

During this virtual event, the speakers and staff of the SSP spoke to us about the requirements to keep our scholarship and ways to receive community service hours. They also went over things we can do to be successful as a scholarship recipient at PGCC. We were also able to ask questions to clear any doubts we had about the scholarship. At the end, we joined a GroupMe to ask the staff and get updates about service opportunities.

This meeting was very informative & gave me useful tips as a new incoming promise scholarship student! I love that our meeting holders where so interactive with us students as well. I’m excited to enter this semester / school year with what appear to be such supportive individuals!!!

During this event, the Promise Scholarship team discussed the basics and requirements needed to maintain the scholarship. They also went over what would happen if we did not meet all the requirements and the assistance they would give.

I learned more about scholarships and many questions where asked and I also learned more about the different groups at PGCC.

It was very interesting and informative. I learned a lot about the promise scholarship in terms of its requirements, and how to keep it.
