Scholarship and Tuition Discounts
Full-Time Undergraduate Students
Eagle Community Partner employees, their spouses and dependent children (as defined by the IRS) who are enrolled full time and are paying the full-time tuition rate are eligible to receive a $1,000 scholarship each academic year while pursuing an undergraduate degree. This scholarship stacks on top of most other financial aid for which the student may qualify.
Part-Time or Graduate Students
Eagle Community Partner employees, their spouses and dependent children (as defined by the IRS) who are not paying the full-time tuition rate are eligible for a 10% tuition discount. The discount is in the form of a scholarship to be applied to any undergraduate or graduate course.
New Students
Students receiving scholarships, grants or other benefits that cover 100% of tuition costs are not eligible for the Eagle Community Partners tuition discount, nor are students receiving an Ashland University athletic scholarship or tuition waiver/exchange benefit.
