Eureka College is expanding its tuition-free program to qualified students for four years.

The Uniquely Eureka Promise Program, which was originally offered to transfer students, is now available to students from all over the state of Illinois, and gives them an opportunity to earn a bachelor’s degree tuition-free.

“We understand that the COVID-19 pandemic has intensified the financial challenges that many Illinoisans face,” Eureka College President Dr. Jamel Wright said in a press release. “We are happy to do our part by offering opportunities like the Uniquely Eureka Promise to greatly ease the financial burden of pursuing a bachelor’s degree.”

Uniquely Eureka Promise was offered to Illinois transfer students in 2018. It was first expanded to select high schools in central Illinois, and is now available to students across the state.
