Celebrating the Impact of Our Donor Community
Each year, WGU’s Annual Impact Report gives us the opportunity to reflect on the incredible generosity of our donor community and the profound difference it makes in the lives of our students.
In FY25, our donors helped raise more than $23 million, enabling nearly 1,700 students to receive donor-funded scholarships. These scholarships are more than financial support—they are acts of belief, encouragement and empowerment.
Every gift tells a story.
We see it in the journey of students like Pedro S. who overcame tremendous odds to change careers and get his B.S. in Information Technology. Watch Pedro’s incredible WGU journey here.
We see it in the numbers:
- $23 million raised
- 70 donor-funded scholarships awarded
- 800+ WGU employee-supported scholarships
- 4,246 new donors
- More than 70 active grants with national corporations and foundations
We see it in the partnerships that fuel innovation like the ReNEW Fund, which awarded over $4 million to aspiring nurses and secured more than $22 million in philanthropic commitments to address the healthcare workforce crisis.
At WGU, we believe that talent is universal, but opportunity is not. Your support helps us close that gap. It allows us to innovate, scale, and reach learners who might otherwise be left behind.
To our donors, alumni, employees and partners: thank you. You are helping us build a future where education is accessible, affordable and transformative. Together, we are changing lives one student at a time.
