WJU Also Announces New Scholarship Program To Assist Students

William Jessup University today announced it will decrease tuition by 2.5 percent for full-time undergraduate students for the 2009-2010 academic year and will expand scholarship programs for low-income students.

The drop in tuition is believed to be the first in the university’s 70-year history.

The university is the Greater Sacramento region’s only private four-year, residential university. The 2.5 percent tuition cut will save full-time students $500 for the entire year. The decision to cut tuition is designed to assist those impacted by a difficult economy and runs counter to a national trend of rising higher education tuition costs.

William Jessup University has been named as one of America’s Best College Buys® in the 18th annual National College Survey by the Institutional Research & Evaluation Inc., which recognizes institutions of higher education that provide exceptional educational opportunities.
