Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
On March 27, 2008, Strayer Education, Inc. (the “Company”) distributed its 2008 annual letter to shareholders. For more information, please refer to our annual letter to shareholders, which is attached hereto as exhibit 99.01 and incorporated herein by reference.


The information referenced in this Item 7.01, including the letter attached hereto as exhibit 99.01, is incorporated  by  reference  into this Item 7.01 in  satisfaction  of the public disclosure requirements of Regulation FD. This information is being “furnished” to the  Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section,  nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

The annual letter to shareholders contains statements that are forward looking and are made pursuant to the “safe-harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 “(Reform Act)”.  The statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and are subject to a number of uncertainties and risks.  In connection with the Safe Harbor provisions of the Reform Act, the Company has identified important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially.  The uncertainties and risks include the pace of growth of student enrollment, our continued compliance with Title IV of the Higher Education Act, and the regulations thereunder, as well as regional accreditation standards and state and regional regulatory requirements, competitive factors, risks associated with the opening of new campuses, risks associated with the offering of new educational programs and adapting to other changes, risks associated with the acquisition of existing educational institutions, risks relating to the timing of regulatory approvals, our ability to implement our growth strategy, and general economic and market conditions.  Further information about these and other relevant risks and uncertainties may be found in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K and its other filings with the Commission.   We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward looking statements.
