Through this partnership, eligible high school graduates can enroll in SNHU’s course-based online programs at 20 percent off the cost of tuition. A private, nonprofit, accredited higher education institution serving more than 170,000 students on-campus and online, SNHU already features some of the lowest tuition rates for online programs in the nation.

“At Stride, we help all learners prepare for their futures whether that means college or career, and we are thrilled to continue to build on our relationship with SNHU in support of lifelong learning,” said Janice Gruneberg, Superintendent of Schools at Stride. “Our graduates put in the work, and together with SNHU we will help them continue their education in a setting designed with their success in mind.”

SNHU offers over 200 higher learning programs, including business, education, liberal arts, social sciences, and STEM. The discounted tuition agreement is a part of a long-standing relationship with the university and Stride. In 2017, the organizations launched a partnership to advance excellence in online teaching through a uniquely specialized Master’s in Online Teaching program.

“SNHU is committed to providing affordable and accessible higher education to everyone,” said Jeremy Owens, Associate Vice President of University Partnerships. “We are proud to partner with Stride to offer more students every opportunity to get out from under burden of student loan debt, ensuring that they are achieving their personal and professional goals.”
