The Pittsburgh Promise is an innovative scholarship program for graduates of Pittsburgh Public Schools and is designed to promote college enrollment and relieve financial burdens associated with it for Promise Scholars.

- Student Support
- One-on-one academic coaching
- Peer tutoring by trained tutors available for most undergraduate courses
- Study Skills Assessment, a web-based program to determine study skills strengths and weaknesses
