As a nonprofit, online university that is committed to making higher education more affordable and ac- cessible for nontraditional students, WGU typically awards scholarships based on the applicant’s academic record, readiness for online study, financial need and other considerations. Alexa Knutsen, head of the Capt. Robert Gray Al- ternative High School, re- ceived the Teacher Appreci- ation Scholarship. Rosemary Geraghty, a Youth Transition Program specialists with Astoria School District, received the 50K scholarship. Michele Matz of Seaside received the WGU Lifesav- er Transfer Scholarship. These scholarships help further offset the tuition of about $3,000 per six-month term for most WGU pro- grams. A flat rate that cov- ers all the courses a student is able to complete. Tuition has not increased since 2008. Now with more than 56,000 students nationwide, WGU was established in 1997 by a bipartisan group of U.S. governors with a mission to expand access to high-quality, affordable higher education. WGU is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, has been named one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies, and was featured on NPR, NBC Nightly News, CNN, and in The New York Times.
