Salvation Army University Slashes Tuition by 50%

By Bill W. Cooper

The Salvation Army Polytechnic University has announced a 50 percent reduction in tuition fees across all colleges, a move aimed at expanding access to higher education for students facing economic hardship.

The decision, approved by the university’s Board of Trustees and announced by President Jonathan Minagogo Hart, took effect on May 16, 2026.

Under the new fee structure, students in the College of Health Sciences will pay US$7.50 per credit hour, while those enrolled in Agriculture, Business, Education, Theology, and Engineering will pay US$6 per credit hour.

University officials said the reduction is intended to ease the financial burden on students, particularly those from vulnerable backgrounds, while advancing the institution’s mission of providing affordable and accessible education. Hart urged other universities to consider similar measures and encouraged prospective students to take advantage of the opportunity to pursue higher education at reduced costs.

The Resident Bishop of the United Methodist Church of the Liberia Annual Conference, Samuel Quire, has praised veteran Lutheran clergyman Bartholomew Bioh Colley for his 42 years of dedicated ministry, describing him as “retired but not tired.”

The remarks were made during a retirement ceremony held by Trinity Lutheran Parish, marking the end of Rev.

Bishop Quire encouraged the retiree to continue providing mentorship, guidance, and prayers to younger church leaders.

Rev. Colley and his wife, Nora Colley, were honored by church leaders, congregants, civil society representatives, and national figures for their years of service. In his remarks, Rev. Colley emphasized integrity, accountability, and faith in God as the foundation of a lasting legacy, while pledging continued support to the church whenever needed.
