Figures read from each program’s official pages, October 7, 2026. Sources and how to apply

About 13,500 students started 2026-27 with a Promise Scholarship, up from about 8,700 in 2025-26, according to The Current (September 30, 2026). The state has not published its own count.

Worth knowing: Eligibility depends on which public school your address is zoned for. Check the state’s school list before you apply. A lawsuit filed in August 2026 challenges the rule that students must first attend public school for two semesters; no ruling yet.
