BVU, Ballard Schools Link Via Strategic Partnership
Collaboration with Buena Vista University broadens educational benefits for Ballard Community School District employees and their eligible family members.
Buena Vista University (BVU) and the Ballard Community School District have aligned as Strategic Partners to help support those who educate students while strengthening their communities and the people they serve.
This partnership allows for employees of Ballard Community School District, as well as eligible family members of full-time employees, to receive grant funding to lower the overall cost of education while enrolled in classes at BVU’s Storm Lake campus. Partner grant funding also lowers the cost per credit hour for students enrolled in BVU’s convenient online undergraduate programs or the organizational leadership graduate program.
“Ballard Community School District is pleased to announce our participation in this Strategic Partnership with Buena Vista University. We look forward to enhancing our employee benefits offerings by providing this for our employees and their families.”
