West Virginia Wesleyan College is proud to announce a special tuition discount for full-time first responders, their partners, and their children. WVWC benefits greatly from tremendous first responders in our community, and we are honored to provide this program to them, along with professionals across the United States.
WVWC recently hosted a screening of a film, “PTSD911,” for local first responders, and Associate Provost Dr. Christine Schimmel made the announcement there.
“Our first responders serve so selflessly every day and are often overworked and underappreciated,” Schimmel said. “WVWC looks forward to providing this benefit to our first responder families making higher education more accessible and affordable right here in our community.”
This benefit, available for first responders, their spouses or partners, and children amounts to a 70% discount on tuition by utilizing WVWC Scholarships and grants. The discount is available for full-time, degree-seeking students. Please note, students enrolled in the LPN to BSN program are not eligible, as the program is already offered at a discounted rate.
Other benefits include an optional deferred housing deposit for on-campus living and 10% off graduate tuition.
