The Uniquely Eureka Advantage: A Promise Like No Other
When you apply to Eureka College, you're applying to the bold commitment we provide our students. Eureka College is more than just a place to earn your degree; it's a community of learners, mentors, and leaders who are committed to helping you succeed. With the Uniquely Eureka Advantage promise, we commit to supporting our students financially, socially, and academically. The Uniquely Eureka Advantage promise includes:
Four Years or Free
Eureka College is committed to helping all incoming first-year students graduate in four years. If students follow all guidelines and requirements and do not graduate in four years for any reason, the fifth year will be tuition-free. This is part of our commitment to making Eureka one of the best colleges for its value in the state of Illinois.
Tuition Freeze
Additionally, tuition will be “frozen” for all four years for incoming freshmen. This commitment applies to students who are in good academic standing and continuously enrolled for four academic years or eight semesters. If you’re interested in private colleges near Peoria, IL, we have a lot to offer that can benefit students financially.
Experiential Learning
The third commitment offers all new students a $2,000 Experiential Learning Grant. The grant may support high-impact practices such as internships, mentorships, research for conferences & presentations, or study-abroad opportunities. Students will be eligible for the grant after completing 45 credit hours at Eureka College.
International Travel
In addition, we are more committed to offering study abroad opportunities to all students who choose to include this experience as part of their learning and service. Similar to the Experiential Learning Grant, students will work closely under the guidance of faculty and staff and must have completed 45 Eureka College credit hours to be eligible.
Campus Opportunities
Finally, we are committed to offering all students opportunities to participate in a college activity including music, theatre, athletics, or student organizations. Students may initiate their own activity or organization under Eureka College guidelines. As a small college in central Illinois, we’re able to offer each and every student the chance to become a leader in their field of work or recreation.
