Tuition Assistance Program

Part of the Vision of Adam Smith University is making education accessible to all. We offer affordable tuition options to this end, but recognize that not all students can meet the financial obligations associated with earning their degree. Students facing personal economic hardship, due to living in impoverished countries or conditions can apply for a reduction in tuition. 

Such requests will be considered and decisions made on an individual basis, as needs require and resources allow. Continued positive academic progress is considered and may be a condition for ongoing assistance. An award of assistance is at the discretion of Adam Smith University’s administrators.

Trinidad Prison Education Tuition Awards

We are dedicated to helping prisoners transform their lives through correctional education. As such, we offer our business degree programs at no cost to eligible Port of Spain prisoners. To be eligible for a tuition award, students must have no institutional disciplinary actions in the last 90 days and meet the admissions requirements of Adam Smith University. 

Eligible inmates receive the same correspondence program taught worldwide, but in a print-based format. To remain eligible for the tuition award, the student must continue to meet the academic requirements required for all students throughout the completion of their program. Interested students can write to the university for more information or to sign up. The goal of this program is to provide a second chance to incarcerated individuals. It allows them to earn valuable business skills, even while incarcerated.

Our Global Prison Education Initiative

Adam Smith University is committed to help stop the cycle of re-incarceration. The only proven way to do this is to provide meaningful education opportunities to inmates. For nearly 30 years, Adam Smith University has been providing correspondence programs to meet the needs of inmates in correctional facilities around the world. 

Though we have transitioned most of our students online, we remain committed to serving the incarcerated population. Every degree program we offer is available in an entirely print based format. Plus, we offer discounted tuition rates to all inmates. We understand the difficulties of reaching prisoner populations and the institutional security concerns regarding the shipment of materials. 

Our materials are accepted at most institutions and we are happy to work with prison officials to ensure compliance with all of their regulations. Our programs change lives.

This initiative provides students with the opportunity to study at their own pace, while still incarcerated, for a discounted rate of $30 USD Per Month. Associates and Bachelor’s degrees are available and all course materials are included. Students enrolled in this program receive one course at a time, complete their lessons, and return their assignments through correspondence.
