The partnership includes over 125 eligible public and nonpublic school districts, career and technology centers, and charter schools from throughout Montgomery County. A full list of eligible school districts can be viewed on etown.edu.

“The educators and employees in Montgomery County provide incredible value to the community and next generations of lifelong learners,” Elizabethtown College SGPS Director of Corporate Partnerships, Chris D’Imperio said. “We’re excited to be able to give back to them through greater access to the educational opportunities and benefits offered through Etown’s School of Graduate & Professional Studies.”

The tuition discount will apply to SGPS undergraduate and graduate-level programs, as well as the micro-credentialing platform Etown Edge, which offers over 300 affordable courses through self-paced modules across a variety of in-demand fields.

Etown’s School of Graduate and Professional Studies also offers several programs specific to the education field, including its newly announced Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Educational Leadership and Graduate Certificate in Higher Education which will begin offering courses in August 2024.
