BVU, Charles City Schools Link Via Strategic Partnership
By partnering with Buena Vista University, the Charles City Community School District offers educational benefits to its employees and their eligible family members.
Buena Vista University (BVU) and the Charles City Community School District have joined forces as Strategic Partners to help support those who serve students.
This partnership allows for employees of Charles City Community School District, as well as eligible family members of full-time employees, to receive grant funding to lower the overall cost of education while enrolled in classes at BVU’s Storm Lake campus. Partner grant funding also lowers the cost per credit hour for students enrolled in BVU’s convenient online undergraduate programs or the organizational leadership graduate program.
“Providing anyone the opportunity to go back and continue or start their education is valuable in any area.”
