Questa Education Foundation is excited to announce a new partnership with Taylor University. Questa scholars who attend and graduate from Taylor will now receive 25% in loan forgiveness on their Questa loan, in addition to 50% forgiveness if the student lives and works in Northeast Indiana for five years after graduation. In total, a scholar’s Questa loan can be up to 75% forgiven. This new partnership and forgiveness benefit will apply to new Questa Scholars starting at and returning to Taylor University in fall 2021.
“As we hold steady in our mission, we are eager to partner with Questa as part of our commitment to affordability,” said Nathan W. Baker, Vice President for Enrollment Management at Taylor. “This partnership opens doors for students to pursue their calling and invest in our neighboring communities.”
Taylor is joining another 11 universities that currently partner with Questa, including Anderson University, Grace College, Huntington University, Indiana Tech, Indiana University Fort Wayne, Indiana Wesleyan University, Ivy Tech Community College, Manchester University, Purdue University Fort Wayne, Trine University and University of Saint Francis.
“We are excited to launch this partnership with Taylor University,” said Elizabeth Bushnell, Executive Director of Questa Education Foundation. “Adding Taylor as a partner school gives Northeast Indiana students more options for maximum debt forgiveness and supports our efforts to expand and serve more students from the region.”
Questa has served over 1,000 scholars and continues to increase the number of scholars each year thanks to generous donors and community support. New partnerships help Questa continue this expansion to strengthen the pool of newly skilled graduates who help meet the workforce needs of the region.
Questa’s Traditional application opens on December 1 through March 15. The Contemporary Scholars program and other specialized program applications are open year-round. For more information and how to apply, visit www.questafoundation.org.
