The Missouri Department of Corrections is working with Ashland University of Ohio to establish a higher education program for staff and offenders. For DOC staff, Ashland University plans to offer a tuition discount for online degree programs through the College of Online and Adult Studies. Offerings include associate’s, bachelor’s and master’s programs in fields such as criminal justice, business, communications, and nursing. In addition, Ashland University’s site director will work with staff who have a desire to pursue a college education, helping them complete FAFSA forms and apply for grant or loan funding to attend the college of their choice. For offenders, Ashland will launch a pilot program at six facilities: Boonville Correctional Center; Women’s Eastern Reception, Diagnostic and Correctional Center; Crossroads Correctional Center; Western Missouri Correctional Center; Farmington Correctional Center; and Eastern Reception, Diagnostic and Correctional Center. Designed for corrections environments, the tablet-based program, which will operate through JPay tablets, will enable Second-Chance Pell Grant-eligible offenders to embark on associate’s or bachelor’s degree programs remotely, at no cost to the offenders, the department or taxpayers. This money has been set aside by the federal government specifically for incarcerated offenders and does not compete with existing Pell Grant funding for citizens. Read More. |
