Affordable Tuition. Unmatched Support.

Gracelyn’s mission is to make teacher education accessible to every student called to teach. While
standard tuition is $88.80 per credit hour, most students receive an institutional scholarship that cuts
tuition in half to $44.40 per credit hour ($111 per month), and that includes all books, materials, and
success coach support.

Every student is paired with a coach who offers ongoing guidance from transfer to graduation.
