The two scholarships together bring the cost to attend this highly respected Christian university down to a very reasonable level. Even more exciting is that these scholarships are attainable by an average student!
CLASS DETAILS:
While our EE-LetU dual credit classes do not offer "free" tuition, the trade-offs when compared to other local dual credit options are significant.
- A distinctly Christian course from a Christian university
- In-person classes on a homeschool friendly campus
- Very small class size with similar age students
- Credit from a university rather than a community college
- The chance to qualify for a significant scholarship
$270/course Tuition (payable to LetU)
$225/course Facility Fee (payable to EE)
As a comparison, similar HBU Academy classes are $1,000/year for 3 hours of credit.
