Penn State World Campus offers a tuition reduction to employees of our education alliance partners, as well as their spouses and legal dependents. This tuition reduction is applicable to all undergraduate and graduate programs and courses offered by World Campus.

Tuition Rates

Penn State's tuition rates vary by student level, program, residency, and primary campus location. If your primary campus location is not Penn State World Campus, the tuition reduction for World Campus courses will be calculated based on the World Campus tuition rate and not on your primary campus tuition rate.

Form Submission

Once you have chosen your courses, you must complete the tuition reduction form (PDF) and submit it prior to the start of your first semester. Email it as an attachment to Sonia Clayton at [email protected].

Eligibility

Students must be currently employed by, or a current member of, a Penn State World Campus Education Alliance partner or be the legally married spouse or legal dependent per IRS publication 501 (PDF) of an employee or member of a Penn State World Campus Education Alliance partner. Students receiving similar Penn State institutional scholarships or grants may not be eligible for the tuition reduction, and Penn State employees are exempt from eligibility. Submission of this form must be completed within seven days of registering for a course(s).

Penn State World Campus is here to help you reach your educational and professional goals with student support services including advising, tutoring, technical support, and library resources.
