Education solutions
for nonprofits
Affordable, flexible degrees
through nonprofit organizations
Higher education can be an expensive, inflexible barrier.
Have you ever wanted to develop your next generation of leaders and felt constrained by the higher education system?
The truth is: Higher education is often expensive and inflexible. Organizations and individuals find these barriers difficult to overcome. As a result, goals are unmet or delayed.
At Indiana Wesleyan University (IWU), we believe that higher education can serve the goals of nonprofits and individuals, so we have created a partnership model that offers affordable, flexible higher education options.
