BVU, West Harrison Schools Bond Through Strategic Partnership
By collaborating with Buena Vista University, the West Harrison Community School District offers educational benefits to its employees and their eligible family members.
Buena Vista University (BVU) and the West Harrison Community School District have aligned as Strategic Partners, supporting those who serve students and strengthening the communities each entity serves through education.
This partnership allows for employees of West Harrison 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.
“Establishing a Strategic Partnership with Buena Vista University was a no-brainer as the collaboration provides educational opportunities at a reduced cost for our employees and their family members.”

“BVU is eager to partner with the West Harrison Community School District and offer educational benefits to its employees and their family members,” says BVU Director of Strategic Partnerships Laura Todd. “Access to quality, affordable education creates many opportunities for individuals, and we look forward to strengthening the West Harrison community and beyond through education.”
