New colleges are continually recruited. Check back to see new Partner Colleges.

Private Colleges

Students from families with incomes more than $75,000 who choose to attend one of the nonprofit private colleges will  receive standard financial aid award directly from the college and an additional Choice Grant directly from Say Yes guaranteed tuition grant for up to $5000 each year.

Please note: Private Partner colleges are the primary source of funding to Say Yes students attending their institutions.  While all of the colleges have agreed to the basic conditions of the Say Yes program, colleges may have unique policies and restrictions.  The determination of the actual award that a student receives will be made by the institution at their discretion based on institutional policies.
