Are there any other costs associated with the purchase?

How do I use the Grant?
The Grant amount per Master's Program session will be netted on the invoice presented by your Preferred Reselling Partner at the time of purchase. Your Grant is not redeemable for cash. You may use any portion of the Grant amount and multiple purchase orders are acceptable.  Apply Now

Will a price change affect my Grant award?
In the event of a list price decrease on any qualifying Master's Program before the Grant has been utilized, the Foundation reserves the right to decrease the Professional Development Grant amount awarded. Should this situation occur, the net amount that you would pay would not be greater than the original net amount, exclusive of taxes and expenses, if any. Apply Now

To whom do I send my purchase order?
