The Promesa Scholars Program is a Hispanic/Latino Focused leadership and retention program developed to assist students in navigating success throughout their education at Ferris State University.
The Promesa Scholars Program (PSP) was created to support the academic advancement and retention of incoming Promesa Summer Success students at Ferris. In 2017, the program was redeveloped and scaled to provide access to resources and opportunities, empowering more students to achieve college completion and career readiness.
The Promesa Scholars Program is open to any current student, with preference given to those students who have successfully completed the Promesa Summer Success program. PSP provides academic preparation, leadership and cultural identity development, and limited scholarship opportunities.
