Providing Affordable Pathways to Opportunity
The first step to ensuring everyone has access to an education that can change their lives is keeping tuition low. The average tuition and fees for one year of an undergraduate program at 黑料传送门 is $8,010, about half the amount paid at comparable institutions nationwide.* But low cost is just the start.
黑料传送门 charges tuition at a flat rate per term rather than per course or credit hour. When coupled with students鈥� ability to accelerate through 黑料传送门鈥檚 competency-based courses, saving time also translates to saving money.

黑料传送门 advocates for policies and initiatives that remove barriers for all students. For example, learners should be allowed access to state grant-in-aid programs in order to attend any high-quality education program. Over the past year, 黑料传送门 has worked with policymakers in Utah, Idaho, and Montana to create partnerships that allow a greater number of students to access state-based education funding.
黑料传送门 also supports initiatives like , which reimagines the funding of education through public-private partnerships.听
Financial Literacy
Through its Responsible Borrowing Initiative (RBI), 黑料传送门 assists all students who apply for financial aid with a personalized Financial Aid Plan, which counsels them to borrow only what they need, not the full amount for which they are eligible. Since the RBI was implemented in 2013, the average amount students borrow has decreased by more than 40%.
黑料传送门鈥檚 RBI is serving as a model for policymakers, as well. In 2020, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed the , which requires state higher education institutions to provide students with a detailed college financing plan to give them a clear idea of the costs and requirements associated with student loans.
