WKU Educator Discount
Fall 2020 - Spring 2021
Educators continue to work harder than ever, and WKU wants to thank them for the exceptional work they have done in ensuring that students of the Commonwealth continue to learn through this extraordinary time. We have reduced the rate of graduate education for Kentucky licensed educators for the 2020 - 2021 academic year.
“The sudden transition to NTI across the state presented challenges for our school systems, teachers and students, and our educators stepped up to meet those challenges. This program builds on WKU’s strong history of educating educators and helping them prepare students—our most precious resource—to be the future of our Commonwealth.” – Dr. Corinne M. Murphy, Dean, College of Education and Behavioral Sciences.
