According to Globe’s chief communications officer, Jeff Myhre, “We’ve gone beyond cutting tuition with this initiative — although that’s included — by looking at a number of areas where we can reduce costs for students. We lowered textbook costs by launching digital books, we’re awarding more scholarships, and we’re offering more accelerated degrees and continuing to grant credit for transfer classes and work experiences.”
The network of schools award approximately $10 million annually in scholarships and grants. On average, students receive $11,000 in scholarships, grants and other forms of aid over the course of their degree programs.
