This fall, Columbus State transfer students can receive full-tuition scholarships to Capital University thanks to a partnership between the two schools.
Columbus State Community College students looking to complete a bachelor's degree will be able to do so debt-free starting this fall at Capital University.
Capital University Provost Jody Fournier said the scholarship is the latest step in the university's journey to improve student success. The university uses a shared recruiter with Columbus State, engaging prospective high school students the same as they would any other student, said Capital University President David L. Kaufman. Columbus State-Capital Dual Admission students are enrolled at both institutions and have access to resources at both schools including campus libraries, student organizations, housing and events.All that was missing was addressing the economics.
"There are highly capable, highly motivated students who want to pursue higher education, but face financial barriers," Fournier said."This is a game changer."
