EUREKA – Eureka College on Thursday announced a new program called “The Uniquely Eureka Advantage.”
The program, which begins in the next academic year, brings with it a commitment to graduating students in four years, a four-year tuition freeze, a possible learning grant and more.
“We really pride ourselves on excellence in learning service and leadership,” said President Jamel Santa Cruze Wright. “This is another way to take that to the next level.”
The $2,000 experiential learning grant will be made available for students once they complete 45 credit hours at Eureka. Funding from the grant can be put towards internships, mentorships or even study abroad opportunities.
“Outcomes are important to parents and students, and outcomes are important to use here,” said Wright. “The Uniquely Eureka Advantage is a way to have that actions speak louder than word commitment, to making sure that our students are successful and lead excellent lives when they graduate.”
The school is also offering study abroad opportunities to students through the program. Students who choose to study abroad must also have completed 45 credit hours, similar to the learning grant.
