BVU, East Sac County Schools Connect Through Strategic Partnership
Collaboration with Buena Vista University broadens educational benefits for East Sac County Community School District employees and their eligible family members.
Buena Vista University (BVU) and the East Sac County Community School District have aligned as Strategic Partners to help support those who serve students while bolstering the communities each entity serves.
This partnership allows for employees of East Sac County Schools, 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.
“Anytime our employees can receive a discounted rate for services, we are happy. With the close proximity in location, having this available through BVU is a good option for our employees and their kids.”
