The Promise Scholars Opportunity Scholarships offer students a chance to win $500 in scholarship money at each step! There is NO minimum GPA, NO essays, and NO citizenship requirement… Just do the steps and complete our application before the deadline. The more steps that students complete, the more chances they have to win! Students can jump in at any time during the scholarship series and must attend Chaffey, Colony, Montclair, Ontario, or Valley View High School to be eligible.
The best part is, if students complete ALL 9 steps, they will be entered into a raffle to receive up to a $15,000 scholarship! There will be FOUR $15,000 grand prize recipients and FOUR $10,000 grand prize recipients - one at Chaffey High School, one at Montclair High School, and one at Ontario High School - so stay on track and it might be you!

Once confirmed, the Ontario-Montclair Schools Foundation (OMSF) will issue a check to your college/university with instructions to put it towards any tuition or costs owed to the school. If there are none, the college is instructed to refund whatever money is leftover from the check to you, the student.
