Gardner-Webb Announces 'Foothills Commitment' for Freshman BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—Among Gardner-Webb Univer- sity's assets are its location in the North Carolina foothills and its supporters from the surrounding counties. As a way to recognize community partners in Cleveland, Rutherford and Gaston counties, GWU is announcing the "Foothills Commitment." "We are pledging to provide total aid from GWU of at least $15,610, which is a minimum of 50 percent off tuition for any new freshman living on campus who is a resident of Cleve- land County, Rutherford County, or Gaston County," stated Kristen Setzer, vice president for Enrollment Management. The reduced rate is renewable, and Cleveland, Gaston and Rutherford county residents who apply to GWU and meet the qualifi cations will automatically be a part of the program. Students will also need to fi le the FAFSA form. The "Foothills Commitment" will be inclusive of all institutional, federal and state grant programs. "At Gardner-Webb, we are responding in a clear and inten- tional way to nationwide concerns about college affordabili- ty," affi rmed GWU President Dr. William M. Downs. "Without compromising the exceptionally high quality of a GWU de- gree, we are freezing tuition costs and reaching out directly to the communities that surround us with new fi nancial in- centives. These are our neighbors and these are the families for whom Gardner-Webb was founded 115 years ago...we're eager to make our University accessible and affordable for them." In addition, Setzer noted, Gardner-Webb is offering a $3,000 grant for fi rst-year transfer students coming from Cleveland Community College. Setzer and the enrollment team hope these fi nancial incen- tives will help students in their decision-making process. "We offer a student-centered campus and world class academ- ics, all within a vibrant Christian community," she affi rmed. "We want our local families to know that they are important to us and that a Gardner-Webb education is affordable."
