Start Smart

Start Smart is an initiative for concurrently enrolled high school students taking Butler classes. Upon high school graduation, students who enroll full-time at Butler will be reimbursed the tuition paid while in high school. Beginning in the fall of 2016, Start Smart credits will no longer be eligible for accumulation. However, all previously earned Start Smart credits will be honored. For more information on the eligibility and requirements of Start Smart credit, refer to the requirements listed below, or the Start Smart FAQ page.  

Butler is committed to making a college education achievable and accessible. Visit our Tuition Waivers page for additional opportunities to save money while earning college credit in high school.
