East Stroudsburg University Introduces Warrior Promise; Incoming Students Guaranteed No Tuition Increases First Four Years

New students enrolling at East Stroudsburg University (ESU) for fall 2018 are getting a promise – the promise of a guaranteed, fixed, four-year tuition rate.  This new initiative, the Warrior Promise, guarantees students they will pay the same tuition rate, without an increase, for the next four years.

The Warrior Promise will establish a guaranteed tuition rate for four academic years or eight consecutive semesters.  This fixed tuition rate will allow students to complete as many undergraduate degrees, minors and certificates as they choose within their four-year window. A Warrior Promise tuition rate will be established by the Board of Governors for each new entering undergraduate cohort of degree seeking freshmen and transfer students.

“Our expectation is that the Warrior Promise will help students remain focused on reducing their college expenses and graduating in four years,” said ESU President Marcia G. Welsh.  “This initiative will also provide a tremendous benefit to students and their families as it adds financial predictability and removes their concern about annual increases in tuition.”

While the Warrior Promise will apply to all new incoming undergraduate students, currently enrolled undergraduate students will have an opportunity to opt in and have their tuition fixed for four years.

ESU joins a select number of other colleges and universities nationwide with guaranteed tuition programs.  ESU is the first public university in Pennsylvania to provide its students the assurance of a guaranteed four year tuition rate.

East Stroudsburg University received approval to launch the Warrior Promise for fall 2018 from the Board of Governors in January 2018.  For more detailed information about the Warrior Promise, a series of frequently asked questions may be found at esu.edu/warriorpromise.
