LENEXA, Kan. January 3, 2020 — Online education pioneer Grantham University recently entered into an educational partnership with the Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber serves as the voice of businesses in the Junction City/Geary County community in Kansas, advocating for over 400 area businesses. The partnership will provide a number of educational benefits to Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce members, employees and their respective qualified family members.

Under the agreement, the individuals listed above can take advantage of: reduced tuition for Grantham’s more than 50 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.

“Our partnership with the Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce is a perfect fit,” said George Colon, Grantham University’s director of university outreach. “In addition to advancing the general well-being of the area, the Chamber facilitates partnerships between the military and Junction City businesses. We’re proud to partner with an organization that aligns with our mission to Serve Those Who Serve and offer its employees affordable education.”

This new partnership is one of more than 50 similar programs in which Grantham has engaged. Those agreements have been formed with various corporations, associations, colleges and community organizations in the region, as well as across the nation.
