College Promise Program
The College Promise Program reflects Nativity Prep’s deep commitment to opening doors to higher education and ensuring that students are equipped to succeed once they arrive.
Closing the Gap,
Completing the dream
In 2015, the Graduate Support team at Nativity Preparatory School in Boston identified a troubling trend: college-enrolled alumni faced financial hardships threatening their educational progress. Even small gaps—sometimes as little as $1,000—between school-provided financial aid and family resources became insurmountable obstacles. In response, the College Promise Program was created to bridge these gaps.
