    Out of District Waiver for Promise Students

    If a student resides within the boundaries of the D211, D214, or D220 school district but is outside of the boundaries of Harper College, that student may receive a waiver to be charged in-district tuition if they have earned the Promise Scholarship. The waiver will be given on an annual basis (Fall and Spring semester), and the student must maintain Promise eligibility to receive the waiver for a second year. If the student falls out of Promise eligibility, they would not be eligible for this in-district tuition waiver starting the following Fall.  They would be encouraged to pursue the Program if they wish to remain eligible for In-District tuition.
