Our Forester Flagship Program offers qualified in-state first-year and transfer students an incredible opportunity: it covers 100% of tuition and fees through grants and scholarships that do not need to be repaid.

Along with a low-interest federal loan, almost all food and housing costs are covered as well. With only $2,500 in out-of-pocket expenses for the entire year—and the ability to earn $2,500 through campus employment opportunities—you can focus on your education and future without financial stress.
