From Kindergarten to Graduation
That’s Our Promise
In 2026 Northport graduates will get up to a $2,500 scholarship for up to four years for college or trade school. And they’ll be the first to get financial help from a Promise Saves account. Promise Saves will provide students $100 for each year they attended Northport.
The goal – to ease the cost of higher education. Since 2008 generous donors have helped Northport graduates with scholarships worth up to $2,000 a year for up to four years. That’s helped nearly 100 students. In 2025 graduates received up to $2,500 for career education. Now, in 2026 students will also benefit from Children’s Savings Accounts as outlined here.
How Children’s Savings Accounts Work
Each student receives an account from Promise Saves*. In 2025-2026 Northport students will receive a deposit of $100 for each year they’ve attended Northport.
In 2026-2027 students in K-12 will get a Promise Saves deposit of $100. Deposits are made in October and February. Students moving to Northport after Kindergarten can participate in the program. They will be eligible for deposits each year they attend Northport.
Families can add to their children’s accounts at any time. Regular deposits are urged.
The Promise Saves program may offer incentives. Learn more from our Frequently Asked Questions.
*The Children’s Savings Accounts are deposit only, interest bearing accounts. This start is made possible by a grant from the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) and the Community Economic Development Association of Michigan (CEDAM). Future deposits to the accounts will depend on annual fundraising success. Click on the button below to help support scholarships and savings accounts.
