“At William Peace University, we believe that financial limitations should never stand in the way of a student’s potential,” said Damon Wade, Vice President for Enrollment Management & Marketing. “The Peace Pledge is more than just a scholarship—it’s our unwavering commitment to empowering bright, hard-working students with the opportunity to earn a degree without the burden of tuition costs.”
William Peace University pointed to research from the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities showing that people with a bachelor’s degree earn up to 86% more annually than those with only a high school diploma.
For students who have already applied to William Peace University, there’s no extra application required for the Peace Pledge. Once students submit their FAFSA, they will receive a personalized award package outlining their full cost breakdown, ensuring complete transparency in their financial aid process.
“Through The Peace Pledge, we are not just making college more affordable; we are opening doors, creating opportunities, and inspiring students to reach their full potential,” Wade said. “This is about changing lives, one student at a time.”
