Executive Scholars — The Pittsburgh Promise

The Executive Scholars program builds a pipeline between high-performing Promise Scholars and Promise donors.

It provides Promise students with the chance to connect with the prestigious donor with whom they are matched to pursue professional relationships and connections during their college years. The shift from high school to college can be daunting, as can the shift from college to the workforce. The Executive Scholars program is one of the ways that The Promise can help Promise Scholars transition from not only high school to college, but from college to a career.
