Randolph College: Regional Educational Access Program (REAP)

A private college education just got more affordable…

      Transfer students under the age of 24¹ and living in Lynchburg, Amherst, Appomattox, Bedford, Campbell, and Nelson Counties can now participate in the new Randolph College Regional Educational Access Program (REAP).

      Randolph College’s REAP provides a more affordable path to an outstanding private college education for transfer students this fall.

      When transfer students are accepted² to Randolph College and live at home, tuition will be $12,275³ for the 2013-2014 academic year. A limited number of spaces are being reserved for area transfer students so please apply quickly.  Application deadline for transfer students is July 1^st.

      REAP reduces the cost to attend Randolph to less than the average for tuition, room, and board for public colleges and universities in Virginia. According to the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV), tuition, mandatory fees, and room and board averaged $18,617 for the current academic year⁴.

      More importantly, REAP students will get an excellent education that rivals Virginia’s best institutions; learn in small classes with personal attention from faculty; and enjoy all of the sports, arts, cultural, and traditional events on campus. The Randolph Plan, a program that maps the academic path, enables students to acquire analytical, research, and communication skills that will prepare them for their first job, graduate school, and future careers that haven’t even been imagined yet.

     If someone you know is considering a transfer to a public or private four-year college, ask them to take a closer look at Randolph College’s REAP—and please tell your colleagues about this amazing opportunity. For more information, please contact Lisa Davies, Transfer Coordinator, at ldavies@randolphcollege.edu or 434-485-8038.
