HOUGHTON
COLLEGE ACCEPTS CANADIAN FUNDS AT PAR
HOUGHTON, N.Y.
– Houghton College is pleased to announce that Canadian money will now be
accepted at par with the U.S. dollar for Canadian citizens attending
Houghton College.
“Houghton has
historically been a place for Canadian students to receive a quality
Christian liberal arts education,” said Tim Fuller, vice president for
enrollment management. “We know that dealing with a negative exchange rate
has often been discouraging for Canadian families. We hope that equalizing
the cost will allow more Canadian students to consider Houghton College.”
This benefit is
available to full-time residential students attending Houghton College
beginning in fall 2005. Canadian money is accepted at par for the balance due
for tuition, room and board after Houghton College grants and scholarships
are considered.
The conversion
is determined once per semester and payments will be adjusted according to
that rate. Canadian money at par can be combined with other Houghton College
scholarships.
