Dear Stockholder:
You are cordially invited to attend the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Grand Canyon Education, Inc. (the “Company” or “GCE”) to be held at the offices of GCE located at 2600 W. Camelback Road, Phoenix, Arizona 85017, commencing at 10:30 a.m., Arizona time, on Tuesday, June 10, 2025.
The notice of annual meeting and the proxy statement that follow describe the matters to come before the Annual Meeting. Each holder of record of shares of the Company’s common stock (Nasdaq GM: LOPE) at the close of business on April 16, 2025 is entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting, and any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting. Shares of our common stock can be voted at the Annual Meeting only if the holder is present in person or by valid proxy.
Our Annual Meeting materials are available over the Internet. We believe that this delivery process expedites stockholders’ receipt of proxy materials as well as lowers the costs and reduces the environmental impact of our Annual Meeting. All stockholders as of the record date were mailed a Notice of Internet Availability (the “Notice”) with instructions on how to access our Annual Meeting materials online and how to request a paper copy of the materials by mail. The Notice also includes instructions on how to vote online or by telephone. Internet voting must be completed before midnight, Arizona time, prior to the meeting.
Sincerely,
Brian E. Mueller
Chief Executive Officer and Chairman
This proxy statement is dated April 24, 2025 and is first being sent or made available to stockholders on or about April 28, 2025.
