Preparing Trusted Leaders

Trust is the most important word in business. An organization’s success or failure hinges on whether it can be trusted to deliver what it promises to its employees, to its customers and to its community.

Now more than ever, businesses are looking for leaders who bring a holistic approach to leadership – one that combines professional competence with character and courage to build a stronger business community. In short, they are looking for trusted leaders.

At George Fox, we know an important factor in choosing a school can be cost. That is why we strive to make school as affordable as possible. Virtually every George Fox student who can demonstrate financial need is awarded funds to assist in meeting the cost of attendance. When students explore what it will cost to attend George Fox, there is a real difference between the total cost of their education (tuition, living expenses, books, fees, etc.) and the amount they’re expected to pay. Financial aid is meant to reduce the gap between the two.
