Support

What is the Purdue Promise support program?

The Purdue Promise support program provides free, required services designed to help you succeed academically and socially at Purdue University. The services are provided by four full-time professional staff members and a group of specially trained student leaders - providing you with an immediate connection to Purdue University staff and upper-level student leaders from the moment you arrive on campus.

Purdue Promise strives to create a family-away-from-home atmosphere through the support components that include:

• College courses focused on success at Purdue;
• Orientation programming and learning community opportunities;
• Leadership and volunteer opportunities;
• Tutoring/Study tables;
• Mentoring by upper-level Purdue students as well as faculty and staff from across the campus;
• Social and cultural activities; and
• Family college transition support initiatives.

Because this kind of support is so essential to a student's success at Purdue, participation in the support program is required to receive either the Emerging Urban Leader Scholarship, Purdue Opportunity Award or Purdue Promise Award.
