Equity in Education Program
Free Tuition at Stevens
The Stevens Cooperative School Equity in Education Program (EIE) provides qualified children from low-income families with a no-cost, best-in-class education that fosters curiosity, compassion and confidence in students who think deeply, act ethically, and lead by example.
At Stevens, we believe that an equitable and inclusive learning environment is crucial for students to develop their own identities, as well as their understandings of power, personal responsibility and social change. And we know that such an environment is not possible without students from all socioeconomic backgrounds.
With the establishment of the EIE Program, Stevens is making a commitment to the community we’ve called home since 1949: Here, there is space for everyone.
