13 Mar 2017 CBC extends tuition discount

Central Baptist College recently announced a special Veteran Education Grant for retirees and veterans of the armed forces. All veterans, active duty, guard or reserve members of the military who are receiving service-related benefits are eligible for the tuition discount.

The discount will waive the remaining tuition for most military service men and women in both the online and traditional programs. The previous discount was only available for those service men and women who were eligible for Federal Tuition Assistance (FTA).

Steven Hall, director of military relations said, “As a veteran, this means a great deal to me. I look forward to sharing this benefit that CBC has chosen to give to all veterans, whether they take classes online, on campus, or in one of our many degree programs at either our Conway or North Little Rock campus.”

“We are so proud to expand our military discount to include all veterans. We have supported all branches of the military through higher education for many years in many ways and this simply continues our support,” said CBC President Terry Kimbrow.

CBC has been named a 2017 Military Friendly School by Victory Media. This is the eighth year in a row that CBC has received the honor. The designation is awarded to the top colleges, universities, community colleges and trade schools in the country that are doing the most to embrace military students, and to dedicate resources to ensure their success both in the classroom and after graduation.

CBC offers an associate of science degree in military technologies with locations in Conway and in North Little Rock at Camp Robinson. In addition, CBC offers more than 40 degree programs. Twelve are offered in the Professional Adult College Education (PACE) program and 10 online.  

Central Baptist College is a four-year, private, liberal arts college founded in 1952 by the Baptist Missionary Association of Arkansas. For more details, visit cbc.edu/military or contact Hall at 501.212.6608.
