Messiah University works with Shalom Christian Academy to create dual enrollment opportunities during the spring, summer and fall terms to meet the needs of high-achieving Shalom Christian Academy students who want to take college-level courses that can satisfy both high school and college credit. Pathway Partner schools receive a 20% discount off our already competitive dual enrollment rate. Students are eligible for up to seven credits per semester at $120 per credit hour.

For more information contact Matt Reitnour, director of enrollment partnerships at Messiah University.

This scholarship will be applied each semester and is "stackable" with other aid. This scholarship is renewable for a maximum of 8 semesters (total up to $4,000). This scholarship cannot be used in cases where total institutional aid exceeds 100% of tuition.
