I shook hands with each of 440 Richmond Promise scholarship recipients last night and handed them a certificate of award, worth $6,000 each, for a total of $2,640,000!

The Richmond Promise is the highest funded Promise program in the State of California.

Thank you to Richmond Promise Executive Director Jessie Stewart for ramping this program from 0 to 440 in a year!
