Kalamazoo's bold scholarship program is helping town's students and emerging as an effective economic development tool.
A unique college scholarship program in Kalamazoo, Michigan, is doing far more than helping out disadvantaged kids in a town where two-thirds of public school students qualify for lunch programs.
Known as the Kalamazoo Promise, it is also helping out the school system and the city itself by boosting enrollment and reversing once-falling home prices. In short, the program is helping to put a struggling Rust Belt city back on the road to global competitiveness.
