Spotlight on the Northwestern Prison Education Program
The Northwestern Prison Education Program (NPEP) is a partnership between Northwestern University and the Illinois Department of Corrections. NPEP aims to provide a high-quality liberal arts education to incarcerated students in the state of Illinois by offering credit-bearing courses through Northwestern’s School of Professional Studies. This program enhances Northwestern’s academic mission by fostering the development of a dynamic and diverse intellectual community. The students in NPEP were recently awarded a TGS Co-Sponsorship Grant to support the classroom supplies needed and help cover the cost of transportation to and from the prisons.
