Beginning in 2020, Âé¶¹Ó³Ïñ will offer 50 percent off tuition for eligible community college students in the City of Âé¶¹Ó³Ïñ’s new Âé¶¹Ó³Ïñ Promise program. SPU is the first university to announce a direct pathway from community colleges to enrollment.

  • At least 50 percent off tuition in the form of scholarships and grants
  • Direct pathway into most SPU majors (minimum GPA required)

“Like Mayor Durkan and the voters of Âé¶¹Ó³Ïñ who recently passed the historic education levy, we are committed to helping community college students complete a four-year degree,” says SPU President Dan Martin. “Transfer students comprise an important part of our campus, and we work hard to help them complete their degree at Âé¶¹Ó³Ïñ Pacific.”

The city’s Âé¶¹Ó³Ïñ Promise will give all future high school graduates of Âé¶¹Ó³Ïñ Public Schools two years of community college tuition-free.
