Launched in 2005, the Kalamazoo Promise set a new standard for college scholarships, inspiring similar, place-based free-tuition initiatives nationwide. To understand the impact of the Kalamazoo Promise on students, the Upjohn Institute has annually tracked the usage and success metrics for the program.
The Upjohn Institute’s “Policies for Place” initiative has now launched an interactive data tool that offers a dynamic way to explore measures of Kalamazoo Promise usage and student success in greater detail. This new tool provides an in-depth look at enrollment trends, degree and certificate completion rates, and other critical statistics, broken down by race/ethnicity and gender.
We invite educators, policymakers, community leaders, and the public to access the interactive data tool here.
