Since 2015, EGCC has proudly been part of the Free College Benefit program offered through public-private partnerships in Ohio and across the country. This initiative allows us to fulfill the vision of our college – Creating Opportunities, Changing Lives – while remaining true to our mission to provide quality, flexible, innovative, and affordable educational opportunities to serve our communities through helping students achieve success.
Please complete this application if you were referred to EGCC by your employer or union affiliate, as an educational partner by the Student Resource Center. Verified individuals eligible for the Free College Benefit, and their family members, may receive a last-dollar scholarship that covers the cost after federal, state, and employer grants are applied for select online programs at EGCC. The Student Resource Center will work with your organization or employer to confirm your eligibility for this scholarship.
If you have questions about the Free College Benefit program, please call 888-590-9009 or by emailing [email protected].

Eastern Gateway Community College is accredited – on probation by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). The two-year probation status began on November 4, 2021 and will be revisited by the HLC in 2023. This time gives Eastern Gateway time to work in coordination with HLC to comply with Assumed Practices, Criteria for Accreditation, Core Components, federal compliance and other regulations.
