El Dorado Promise

The El Dorado School District is unique in a number of ways – not the least of which is the El Dorado Promise.

About the Promise

The El Dorado Promise is a unique scholarship program which provides graduates of El Dorado High School a tuition scholarship that can be used at any accredited Arkansas public university or community college, or any accredited private or out-of-state university. All students who graduate from El Dorado Public School and have been an El Dorado School District student since at least the ninth grade qualify for the Promise, which provides up to five years of tuition and mandatory fees for undergraduate post-secondary education for students entering college immediately following high school, unless interrupted by military service.  Enrollment and residency must be continuous.
