Consortium Scholarship

Students may be eligible for up to $1000 in tuition savings!  To qualify, students must graduate from a high school that is a member of the Washburn Tech consortium during the year in which they request the tuition discount.  Eligible individuals may continue a program started while enrolled in high school, or enroll in a program at Washburn Tech within 18 months of high school graduation.  All students who meet the eligibility guidelines will receive this tuition discount; there is no limit to the number of individuals who will be approved.

For details, contact Student Services at Washburn Tech at 228-6325.

Connection to Washburn University to Earn the Associate Degree

Students who complete a Career Program approved by Kansas Board of Regents are eligible to receive a reduced tuition rate at Washburn University while working toward the associate degree.  Students who enroll at Washburn University after taking coursework in an approved program at Washburn Tech will pay $75 per credit hour rather than the typical undergraduate rate of $201 per credit hour.
