City Vision is only able to provide our $500/course partner scholarship to students because of the efforts partners make in supporting the partnership. Starting in the 2022-23 academic year, all partners must meet the following expectations to remain active partners and receive partner scholarship benefits. Partner organizations agree to:

1. Have at least two paying students in a year. If they do not, students will no longer receive the partner scholarship, but may still receive other scholarships if eligible. A student from the partner will have a 2 term grace period to continue receiving the scholarship if the organization is no longer sending multiple students. 
2. Have at least one partnership meeting per year (preferably two) with City Vision University involving the executive leadership of the organization.
3. Appoint a partner liaison to serve as the primary contact for the CVU partnership. If preferred, organizations may appoint one contact for staff and one contact for clients.
4. Actively promote City Vision to staff and clients as appropriate. This could include the following:
   
   • Inviting City Vision to present briefly at an all-staff meeting or leadership team meeting
   • Sending an email template to your staff email list
   • Requesting flyers to be sent to you from City Vision and distributing them to staff and/or clients.
   • Requesting a poster to be sent to you from City Vision
   • Including City Vision in HR processes such as a recommended option in professional development plan
   • Including City Vision as a preferred partner in tuition reimbursement programs
   • Developing a credit recognition partnership where staff or clients get credit for high-quality training you are implementing in your organization
   • Developing a cohort program where groups of staff or clients take courses together and have on-site discussions about their learning experiences

Basis for Partnership Expectations

CVU’s tuition is about ⅓ or ½ of most other online Christian schools, so we are only able to make this scholarship financially sustainable if the effort of partners significantly reduces our marketing cost. Ultimately, the more partners promote City Vision and the more students they provide, the more that reduces our marketing costs. This allows us to fulfill our goal of providing high-quality, radically affordable online education to partners.
