Most scholarships are for new students and returning graduates (unless otherwise noted). Eligible students must complete the scholarship application 90 days before and up to 30 days after the program start date. Current students may apply for funding they are eligible for at any time after their first term is completed. WGU employees and family members who are eligible for the WGU employee discount are not eligible for WGU scholarships.
Through the generosity of the DaVita Giving Foundation, WGU is offering scholarships to help remove financial barriers and support Leavitt School of Health nursing students. The DaVita Nursing Clinical Support Scholarship is a program co-created by DaVita Kidney Care and WGU to help increase nursing degree completion nationwide. This fund was created to assist with non-tuition expenses students may incur while completing their clinical requirements, including lost wages, travel expenses and additional childcare expenses. Scholarship amounts will vary based on each student's individual needs.

Financial Aid is also Available
You may choose to pay for the remaining portion of your degree through federal financial aid (subject to your eligibility). Pell Grants, which do not have to be repaid, are granted based on financial need. Federal Direct Student Loans are available to most students. Subsidized loans, which are dependent on financial need, reduce the interest due on loans.
