To receive a full scholarship, students must have attended Kalamazoo public schools since kindergarten. The program, unveiled at a November 10, 2005, Kalamazoo Board of Education meeting, is also viewed as an economic development tool for Kalamazoo. Since the Kalamazoo Promise was announced, enrollment in the school district has grown by 16%, test scores have improved, and a greater proportion of high-school graduates are attending college.<ref>[http://research.upjohn.org/up_press/1/ ''The Power of a Promise: Education and Economic Renewal in Kalamazoo''], published in 2009 by the [[W.
