Thanks to an innovative new program called Badger to Owl Connection, KCC graduates may qualify for tuition waivers for two terms at ˿Ƶ Tech.

Program Information


The Badger to Owl Connection (“B2O”) is a program designed to promote college access, affordability and bachelor's degree completion for more students – an accelerated full-time earned associate degree at Klamath Community College (KCC), followed by a completed bachelor's degree at ˿Ƶ Tech.

Students who meet the required Badger to Owl Connection criteria will earn a first term tuition remission waiver at ˿Ƶ Tech, up to 15 credits of tuition value and a last term (prior to graduation) tuition remission waiver at ˿Ƶ Tech, up to 15 credits of value.

Program Criteria:

 


Participating students must pursue a KCC associate degree in the B2O program with the plan to transfer to ˿Ƶ Tech for a bachelor's degree.

Participating students must complete an associate degree within eight consecutive quarter terms (including summer term). One extra term waiver is granted for exceptional circumstances.

Participating students must transfer with a cumulative 3.0 GPA to ˿Ƶ Tech.

Participating students must complete a B2O application indicating their interest in the program, a personal success plan for completing an associate's and bachelor's degree, and their ultimate career interest upon degree completion. No minimum high school GPA is required for entering B2O; however, selected students must be deemed to have the “ability to benefit” from this program based on academic history and/or ability, expressed desire/motivation to succeed, references, and work or other extra-curricular experience.

Transfer students can enroll in the B2O program.

B2O cohorts start the fall term of each year.

Participating students may utilize KCC scholarships, the ˿Ƶ Promise, the KCC "15-to-Finish" program, or other earned scholarships to pay for an associate's degree at KCC.

Once at ˿Ƶ Tech, students may apply for other scholarships along with the B2O first and last term remissions, to help pay for a bachelor's degree at ˿Ƶ Tech. If a B2O student receives additional fee remission scholarships through ˿Ƶ Tech, and combined they exceed tuition for a term, ˿Ƶ Tech will not issue a refund on the remissions. Remissions can only be used to cover tuition costs at ˿Ƶ Tech and therefore will not exceed the cost of tuition.

To be eligible for the ˿Ƶ Tech B2O tuition remission waivers, participating students must complete an associate degree at KCC before transferring to ˿Ƶ Tech.
