"There are many reasons why my family and I support WGU scholarships. We know scholarships change students’ lives and their families' futures. WGU democratizes learning on a competency basis and at affordable rates. WGU is flexible, too, so while students are working to support their families, they can also achieve their educational goals. I know this because I was a student.”
WGU Trustee Scholarship Recipient
“I want to say thank you very much for awarding me with the WGU Trustee Scholarship. This scholarship allowed me to devote more time to my studies without having to work a second job. Having recently gone through a career change with a substantial pay cut, there was little to no wiggle room in my household budget. Thanks to this scholarship, the financial burden has been alleviated and I have surpassed my education plan. I am now on pace to be three courses ahead each semester. Your support encouraged me to stay focused so that one day I can work in IT. On behalf of my supportive wife and two beautiful children, I cannot say thank you enough for this scholarship.”
THANK YOU!
Scholarships impact our students' lives, families, and communities. Here is a collection of thank yous from students who received non-endowed or WGU scholarships this year.
"I want to express my gratitude for the scholarship I received. This scholarship has given me the opportunity to complete my education without having to worry about the financial burden it would be to my family. I am so grateful for the opportunity to pursue my education that I put on hold while I raised my family. Thank you again for this scholarship." - ARIEN C., Call Foundation Scholarship Recipient
