W
hen Murphy Oil Corporation announced
the El Dorado Promise in January 2007,
no one, not even then-President of Murphy
Oil Claiborne Deming, understood the
magnitude of the impact on El Dorado
Public Schools (EPS). Since that announcement, over 3,000
EHS graduates have received the Promise and
have taken the scholarship to 153 schools in 35
different states.
The Promise scholarship guarantees every
student who graduates from EPS and who
attended EPS from at least the 9th to 12th grade
can receive a college scholarship. There is no
high school GPA requirement, income limit, or
competitive application process. Students who
attended EPS for their entire K-12 experience are eligible for the
full cost of tuition and mandatory fees at the accredited two or
four year postsecondary institution of their choice, in or out of
state, public or private, up to the cost of tuition and mandatory
fees at the most expensive public university in Arkansas.
Students are able to add other sources of financial aid to
their Promise award up to the full cost of attendance at the
four year college or university of their choice. To renew the
Promise Scholarship students must earn 24 college hours
and maintain a cumulative college GPA of 2.0 each year. The
Promise Scholarship is available to students meeting renewal
requirements for up to five years or a bachelor's degree.
Academic Signing Day celebrates EPS seniors
BEST
EDUCATION
each spring as they sign Academic Letters of
Intent. Guest speakers for the event have been
two former U.S. Presidents, Miss America, an
ABC news anchor, Razorback and NBA all-star
basketball players to name a few.
El Dorado Public Schools are proud to be the
" Promising Choice " for students. From the start of
a student's education -the discussion is " when "
you go to college not " if " you go to college. And when every
student in the classroom has the opportunity to go to college-
teachers and administrators work to prepare every student!
