Pitt State Legacy Program
To be admitted to the Legacy Program, a student must meet the following criteria:
• Full-time undergraduate enrolling at Pittsburg State for the first time;
• Classified as a nonresident for tuition purposes;
• Meet criteria for regular admission as a freshman or transfer;
• Parent or grandparent graduated from PSU with bachelors, masters or specialist degree.
Those admitted into the Legacy Program pay the equivalent of 150% of in-state tuition. For the 2011-2012 academic year the 150% tuition rate is $3,614 per semester compared to $7,083 for out-of-state tuition. You can save more than $3,400 per semester! (There is a $14 per credit hour fee, up to $140, for all technology courses.)
The duration of the award is up to eight semesters of undergraduate study. Length of award would vary dependent upon transfer hours earned prior to first enrollment at Pittsburg State. Renewal beyond the first year would require that the student maintain a 2.50 cumulative GPA and a 2.50 on all work completed at Pittsburg State. Eligibility is initially determined by the Office of Admission. Contact Admission at 1-800-854-PITT (7488) for more information.
