Our Commitment

Grove City College partners with The Pittsburgh Promise to help scholarship students cover expenses as they pursue their unique callings.

Grove City College pledges to provide $2,000 toward room and board expenses for five Promise scholars who enroll at the College. Promise scholars also receive robust support services to aid them in their first-year transition and second-year retention. These services include but are not limited to:
 
  • Summer Preview: This day-long event provides direct access to the College’s faculty and staff who can address any pre-arrival questions surrounding financial aid, academics, registration, housing, and disability services.
     
  • 10-Day Welcome Week Freshman Orientation Program: New freshmen are provided with a comprehensive orientation to the College’s academic programs and campus life.
     
  • Multicultural Programming and Support: Recruiting, retention, and education initiatives ensure programming and support for students from diverse racial and cultural backgrounds.
     
  • Equal Access: We are committed to providing equal access to those with academic, dietary, and housing needs. The College follows the guidelines outlined in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
     
  • Retention Services: Academic progress is monitored and coordinated support is provided when needed.
     
  • Academic Advising: Students are assisted in making decisions regarding their academic program and long-term career and life goals. Seminars on topics such as test taking, study skills, note taking, getting organized, and life skills are regularly held.
     
  • Tutoring Services: Students in need of support in a particular area of study have access to tutoring services individually or with a group, and walk-in sessions are always available.
     
  • Career Services: Guidance is provided through the Office of Career Services to help students find a career that aligns with their gifts and passions and that provides them with true purpose and satisfaction.
