1. Fontbonne To Close Summer 2025

“The Fontbonne University Board of Trustees has voted to declare financial exigency and cease operations after the summer 2025 term. After many years of declining enrollments and a shrinking endowment, the financial position of the university was determined to be unsustainable for the long term. The university will not admit a fall 2024 class.

Washington University has entered into a purchase agreement with Fontbonne University to acquire the 16-acre Clayton campus in the coming months.

This arrangement will enable as many current students as possible to complete their degrees and graduate while also providing employment for many staff and faculty. In addition, to assist students in completing their coursework on campus, the university will provide scholarships to all undergraduate students for the summer 2024 and summer 2025 sessions to cover the cost of tuition.”
