Free World U will make every effort possible to make sure that children are not
turned away because of financial need. We believe that every student deserves the
best possible education and we seek to provide that. The ability to secure a superior
education for your children should not be based only on income.
The website and test system will remain free as it has been since the K-12 program
began in 2007. The fully accredited school requires a great many more staff members
which incur additional costs and we need to offset this by charging tuition. A great
deal of money has been invested in creating the website and content for Free World
U. In order to continue adding to the school and provide for the staff that has
been hired to allow our students to receive credit for their studies, we must begin
to charge for the accredited program. We will maintain our status as a non-profit
organization because all tuition money will be put back into the school. It will
be used to pay salaries for teachers, writers, editors, website designers, and programmers.
Unlike other online schools our purpose has never been to make money. Our vision
and the goal we hold most dear has always been to provide the best possible education
to every child and this vision will lead us forward.
We understand that a tuition based program may cause a hardship for some of our
users and we want to be there for you to help in any way that we can. Currently,
we are streamlining our financial aid application process. It will be available
soon!
