Non-traditional College of St. Scholastica students whose employment was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic may be eligible for a new financial award.

The COVID-19 Saints Succeed Award provides a one-year 15% tuition discount to any students whose employment was affected by the pandemic. This includes main campus transfer students, online students and non-traditional undergraduate and graduate students who are starting in the fall of 2020. Traditional undergraduate students are not eligible for this program.

"We're pleased to be able to offer this award as part of our ongoing efforts to be responsive during this challenging time," Lindsay Schall, executive director of Enrollment Management, said in a release issued on the Duluth college's website. "Accessibility to higher education has always been one of St. Scholastica's key priorities, and today it's more important than ever."
