Program Details Richmond Chamber of Commerce has established an exclusive partnership with Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) to provide a 30% tuition scholarship for all programs and a 20% discount on workforce development courses. Learn more about programs here.
Eligible city employees and officials can receive 30% percent discounted tuition, free textbooks, and locked-in tuition rates for two years. The EKU Advantage partnership will provide thousands of Richmond Chamber members with greater accessibility to the various educational programs at EKU. Family members are not eligible for the discount, and proper documentation is required. This is a scholarship, and as such, it is not stackable (cannot be combined) with any other EKU scholarships.

You will receive an email after you have completed the EKU Application for Admission to upload Richmond Chamber member verification (required each semester to continue to receive the discounted tuition).
