Under certain extenuating circumstances, Rhode Island Promise students may request
an approved leave of absence or deferred start to extend eligibility. Extenuating
circumstances may include documented medical emergency; documented personal emergency; or documented military deployment. Supporting documentation is a requirement of this process.
As soon as possible after learning of the disruption to their educational plan, these
scholarship students should complete the Request Form below and email [email protected] (1) the form, (2) a letter of explanation, and (3) copies of official third party
documentation that supports your letter of explanation. Attach all documentation as
a PDF or JPEG file.
