Students who qualify for the Rhode Island Promise Plus program at CCRI receive support and additional scholarship money for books, transportation or other expenses. Read more about the generous gift that makes Rhode Island Plus possible.

Promise Plus students have an assigned Promise Plus advisor to support you through your CCRI experience.
