It can be tough to leave behind a home, and even more difficult to leave behind an education. One of the most important parts of relocating a family is knowing that your child will receive as good of, or better, an education as he or she is currently receiving. Pittsburgh is a city that can assure that. Here in Pittsburgh, we have a variety of different public schools, as well as private schools, to choose from. And when your child is finally ready to graduate high school and move onto a secondary education, we here in Pittsburgh have a little thing called the Pittsburgh Promise.
In 2008 students in the Pittsburgh public school system were introduced to an amazing opportunity. Mayor Luke Ravenstahl, along side of then superintendent, Mark Roosevelt, had developed a program in which any Pittsburgh public school student, with a GPA of at least 2.5, an attendance rate of at least 90% and who has gained admissions to any accredited Pennsylvania public or private college/university, can be rewarded with Pittsburgh city scholarship money from up $40,000. It’s called the Pittsburgh Promise and it’s been rewarding local youth for five years now.
