Concord University is teaming up with the West Virginia Department of Education to offer high school students free college credit towards their education degree.
Beginning in the fall, admitted Concord students who completed the Careers in Education program at their technical education center will receive credit for two required education courses — that’s six required college hours for free, the release said.
In addition, when students apply to the Teacher Education program, they will no longer have to submit a portfolio or do the 75 volunteer hours required.
“These individuals have already demonstrated a heart for kids and an interest in a career as an educator prior to graduating high school,” said Dr. Andrea Campbell, CU Department of Education Chair.
The release said this is Concord’s latest effort to make college more affordable for its students. The agreement is valid for any Career in Education completer within three years of their completion date.
“This agreement merges two great programs that will ultimately lead to more outstanding educators in the classroom serving students of West Virginia and beyond,” Campbell said.
To learn more, contact Dr. Andrea Campbell at 304-384-5362 or acampbell@concord.edu.

Save money on books, school supplies and everything you want to enjoy college! Financial aid, back in the olden days meant grants, scholarships, work study jobs. Loans were part of the package, but since they are available, ‘common thought’ was it is not financial aid – it was however a low interest loan. If you’re dependent on your parents, and they are below a certain income, most colleges give you much monies to help you attend their school. The middle class student with 2 working parents pays much more for their child to attend school and that student often can’t get work study job on campus. Those jobs are limited to the kids with financial aid.
If you can, or your parents can, to lower your loan debt when you leave school, if you have any monies, try to pay at least the interest while you are in school. Many loans start adding interest the day they are used to pay for school. So a $10,000 loan becomes a $12,000 amount when you leave school (example each loan is different) If you pay the interest (example $25 per month) then the $10,000 loan is only $10,000 when you leave school.
