BVU, West Monona Schools Establish Strategic Partnership
Collaboration with Buena Vista University offers educational benefits to West Monona Community School District employees and their eligible family members.
Buena Vista University (BVU) and the West Monona Community School District have cemented a bond 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 West Monona 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.
“We are happy to establish a Strategic Partnership with Buena Vista University, which represents a great opportunity for our employees, their family members, and the community.”
West Monona Community School District Superintendent Marty Fonley
“We are happy to establish a Strategic Partnership with Buena Vista University, which represents a great opportunity for our employees, their family members, and the community,” says West Monona Community School District Superintendent Marty Fonley. “Being able to provide our employees a savings on education is a win-win opportunity.”
The West Monona School District, located in rural Monona County in western Iowa, serves the communities of Blencoe, Onawa, and Turin. About 55 professionals educate and serve about 600 students in grades K-12 at the district’s elementary school, middle school, and high school, all located in Onawa.
“BVU is extremely pleased to collaborate with the West Monona Community School District and provide educational benefits to its dedicated staff and their families through our Strategic Partnerships initiative,” says BVU Director of Strategic Partnerships Laura Todd. “Through discounted tuition, employees and their family members have access to quality, affordable education that will enhance their careers and their communities.”
