Reading, PA (March 6, 2025) Albright College is redefining accessibility, affordability, and opportunity for Reading Area Community College (RACC) graduates with an expanded transfer pathway designed to accelerate success. This enhanced partnership removes barriers and opens doors—empowering students to earn their bachelor’s degrees faster and with unparalleled financial support.
Albright’s Transformative Five-Pillar Commitment:
🔹 100% Tuition Coverage – Albright College will provide RACC graduates with a financial aid award that covers 100% of their tuition financial need through scholarships, need-based aid, government grants, and the Subsidized Stafford Loan. Exceptional students—those with a 3.5 GPA or higher—can apply for a full-tuition scholarship.
🔹 Fast-Track to a Degree – With Albright’s generous transfer policy, RACC graduates with an associate degree receive a block transfer for general education requirements—reducing their path to a bachelor’s degree to as few as 40 credits. That means students can graduate in just 12–18 months.
🔹 Rapid Admission and Credit Evaluation – RACC graduates will receive an admission decision and transfer credit evaluation within 72 hours of submitting a complete application, ensuring a seamless transition.
🔹 Personalized Support for Success – At Albright, every transfer student is paired with a dedicated academic advisor and a personal Student Success Coach—providing the guidance, resources, and mentorship needed to thrive.
🔹 Expanding Opportunity for Veterans – Further strengthening its commitment to accessibility, Albright College is proud to announce a generous donation from PENN Entertainment to fund scholarships exclusively for veteran RACC graduates.
“At Albright, we are committed to meeting the educational and financial needs of students, especially those looking to transfer from community colleges,” said Debra M. Townsley, Ph.D., President of Albright College. “Through our strengthened partnership with RACC, we are not just offering a seamless transfer pathway—we are creating a launchpad for future leaders, innovators, and changemakers.”
