It's part of Drexel University's new "Promise Program," which aims to attract community college student transfers and help them get across the finish line to earn a bachelor's degree.
Starting in 2023, community college graduates who transfer from in-state or New Jersey will be eligible to receive a 50% tuition discount to continue their education. "We've always offered financial aid to transfer students," said Evelyn Thima, the senior vice president of enrollment management at Drexel.
"And if a student is at a community college and looking to further their education, they may disqualify a private university like Drexel because of costs, and we think that's a mistake," said Thima.At the height of the pandemic, colleges across the country saw a dip in enrollment, including the West Philadelphia institution."We know that many students who enroll in community colleges don't typically go on and graduate with their associate's degree," she said.
