Want To Teach? Heritage Wants To Help With Lower Tuition

Good economic news for Washington’s college students. The Legislature is working on a couple of versions of a state budget that include a significant reduction in tuition at the state’s colleges and universities. Now they have some company.

A news release from Heritage University outlines their plans to make college more affordable.

Heritage University is responding to an impending shortage of schoolteachers, principals and administrators in a number of ways including lowering tuition for students enrolling in graduate programs. Heritage will reduce graduate school tuition from $870 per credit, to $770, a savings of $100 per credit hour, which equates to $3,200 savings for the overall cost of the program.

In addition to cutting graduate school tuition, Heritage offers various levels of institutional aid to help those who want to help meet the demand for more teachers and principals in Washington.

Students will be able to enroll in the new programs at Heritage at the new graduate school tuition rates beginning with the 2015 fall term.
