Partnership Grant
The Augsburg Partnership Grant applies to newly enrolling students only and allows employees of partner institutions to receive a tuition discount in the form of a grant. Students qualify for the partnership tuition discount according to their employment status at the time of their entry into a graduate or adult undergraduate program only. Application fees of $35 are waived and if a student enrolls in an Employer Tuition Reimbursement Payment Plan, the $30 processing fee is also waived. Partnership students will receive deferred payment, meaning they are not required to make out-of-pocket payments on their tuition until 60 days after the end of the term.
