WICHE helps make college more affordable and accessible for students in the West at the undergraduate, graduate, and professional studies levels through its tuition savings programs. Connecting students to educational opportunities in order to address regional workforce needs is the initiative that established WICHE in 1953 and remains central to its mission today. With hundreds of colleges and univerisities in the region particpating in these tuition savings programs, students have more choice than ever. And because WICHE offers postsecondary institutions the ability to decide how they participate, state and campus leaders can tailor participation to strategically meet campus needs.
