LENEXA, Kan. August 28, 2020 — Online education pioneer Grantham University recently entered into an educational partnership with Disability: IN Greater Kansas City. The local chapter of Disability: IN helps companies in the Kansas City area advance their disability inclusion efforts in the workplace and marketplace. The partnership will provide a number of educational benefits to Disability: IN Greater Kansas City employees and their spouses.

Under the agreement, Disability: IN Greater Kansas City employees and their spouses can benefit from: reduced tuition for Grantham’s more than 60 undergraduate- and graduate-level degree and certificate programs; a complimentary Prior Learning Assessment and professional development session; and career opportunities hosted through the Grantham University Career Launch program.

We think the organization’s employees will find a lot of value in this.”
