We built Campus for the working student in mind. All of our live classes are in the evenings and recorded, so you can review them as often and whenever you want.
All of our live classes take place on Campuswire, our proprietary technology platform. After you enroll in a Campus program, you will attend a tech onboarding session, which explains how to use our online learning platform, and how to set up your free laptop* and Wi-Fi hotspot.*
*If neededWhile your eligibility for grant programs depends on your individual financial circumstances, having a job does not exclude you from qualifying for these federal support programs. In fact, many of our existing students are employed and qualify for the Pell Grant.
As a qualifying retail associate of Forever 21, you are eligible for the $1,000 Ignite scholarship if you are admitted to the Fast Track program. There is no separate application process for this scholarship. The scholarship will be disbursed in two $500 payments — one upon the successful completion of your first quarter, and the other upon your second. In order to qualify for these disbursements, you are required to remain employed by Forever 21 and maintain a satisfactory academic record.
Tuition for all Campus Scholars programs is $7,320 per academic year. This amount is inclusive of all fees and is deliberately designed to be as low as possible, particularly given the availability of Pell Grants. Scholars who are eligible for full Pell Grant awards can earn their business degree without taking out any loans to cover tuition. Ask your career advisor about your tuition options.
Live class sessions for the Campus Scholars program occur Monday through Thursday.
