Tuition Philosophy
It is our belief that when an individual invests in their own future, they are much more likely to put a premium on their education than not. For example, studies show that courses that offer free study manuals or workbooks often have spotty attendance, while courses that charge for the manuals or workbooks have much higher and consistent attendance. With this in mind, there are going to be costs associated with the Life Center courses. While there will be scholarships available to those who simply cannot afford the fees, those scholarship recipients will be required to perform hours of community service commensurate with their scholarship amounts. We believe this program will further reinforce accountability among Life Center students, while teaching them the value of “investing” in their future.
