Partner Universities Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)

Erikson Institute shares a common desire with our MOA partners to provide high quality educational opportunities to all populations.

Erikson educates those who work with children and families knowing that all children deserve equitable access to education, services, and a community that supports their health and emotional well-being.

To ensure that our student body reflects our commitment to equity, Erikson Institute extends a warm welcome to students from select colleges and universities, employers and community-based organizations with formal partnerships created via a memorandum of agreement (MOA) that facilitate advanced study of early childhood education, child development and social work.

Each MOA was uniquely created to support incoming students. While some details may vary including degree program, each MOA waives the matriculation fee ($150-200), expedites applications for admission decisions, and may provide financial assistance for admitted students via a 20% discounted tuition rate and/or scholarships.

• Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University
• Saint Xavier University
• St. Augustine College
• Trinity Christian College
• Tuskegee University
