A national foundation has pledged a three-year grant to Birmingham Promise as part of a push toward promoting education in the U.S.
The KPMG U.S. Foundation announced the grant Friday, totaling $112,500.
It’s part of a $2 million push by the foundation to promote healthier, more vibrant communities.
Birmingham Promise covers up to four years of tuition in public Alabama colleges and universities for all Birmingham City Schools graduates.
To date, Promise has provided more than $15 million in tuition assistance to more than 1,600 graduates of Birmingham City Schools. That’s in addition to internships for more than 350 BCS seniors to develop job skills and career connections.
KPMG is a global firm providing auditing, consulting and tax services.
Samantha Williams, executive director of Birmingham Promise, said the grant will open up “meaningful opportunities for KPMG to support our mission and community.”
KPMG Birmingham Office Managing Partner Casey Bartok said the grant will “help strengthen pathways to college and career success for Birmingham’s next generation.”
“Birmingham Promise is creating life-changing opportunities for local students by expanding access to education and workforce experiences,” Bartok said.
