Forever NGU l Volume 2 Issue 5

Dear NGU Alumni!

I am pleased to share that our Alma Mater is at the forefront of shaping the future of higher education in the State of South Carolina. In case you missed this special report, North Greenville University ranks in the Top 10 colleges and universities in South Carolina, according to a recent study by WalletHub.

The study also listed NGU as the state’s best in WalletHub’s Cost & Financing category, which considers net cost, availability of student employment services, and student-loan debt.

By continuing best practices to keep educational costs affordable, we stay faithful to our mission equipping transformational leaders for the church and society.

Hail, North Greenville, Hail!

Assistant Vice President, Advancement and Alumni Engagement
