About the Scholarship
A WGU Excellence in Special Education Scholarship is valued up to $5,000. The scholarship will be credited to your account at the rate of $1,000 per six-month term, renewable each year for up to a maximum of five terms. You will be required to reapply for the scholarship each year for renewal.
Multiple scholarships will be awarded. Each scholarship will be awarded based upon a candidate's academic record, readiness for online study, and current competency, plus other considerations.
