NEW INCENTIVES TO BE A GOV

On Saturday, Oct. 15, Austin Peay State University President Mike Licari surprised a crowd of potential students when he announced several new initiatives aimed at getting them through college faster, at a lower cost and with more enriching experiences.

“We’re so confident that you will thrive on our beautiful campus that we’re willing to put money on it,” Licari said. “That’s what The Austin Peay Experience is all about.”

During the University’s Govs Preview Day, the students learned about three new programs – The Austin Peay Experience, the Govs Guarantee 2023 and the Alumni Legacy Scholarship.

The Austin Peay Experience

• Four-year Graduation Guarantee – If a student follows a program’s requirements and doesn’t graduate in four years, APSU will pay the remaining tuition.

• $2,000 Experience Grants – Money for study abroad, participate in internships, develop innovative research or explore other learning opportunities.

Govs Guarantee 2023

If a student enrolls now as a first-year freshman at Austin Peay for the 2023-24 academic year, they will receive this year’s tuition rate for next fall.

Alumni Legacy Scholarship

Beginning in the summer of 2023, the University will award $1,000 to legacy students, including the children of step-, biological and adoptive parents.
