Earn Your Degree with Little or NO new student debt!

 
 
Dear Septian,
 

You know what you want to study and you're excited to go back to school! Now the question is, what is the best way to pay for it?

WGU Texas is committed to keeping education affordable, and we try to help our students find ways to earn their degrees with little or no new student debt. For some that means taking advantage of scholarships, grants, or financial aid. That is why we want to invite you to our free WGU Scholarship webinar on August 23, 2017.

This webinar will answer frequently asked questions about scholarships and financial aid, and shows how our competency-based learning model can save you time and money as you earn your degree.

But thanks to inspiration from one of her high school teachers, Erin accomplished more than she'd ever thought possible.

What do you want from a college degree program?

 
 
Dear Septian,

We know that you want a degree that is valued by employers and the higher education community. You also want a program that's rigorous, relevant, and results-oriented with the flexibility to work around your current life, your job, and your family.

At WGU Texas, you will:
  • Be prepared to meet the challenges and benefit from the opportunities you'll encounter as you move through your career.

From enrollment to commencement, we're committed to your success and connecting you to the WGU Texas community. Here's how one mentor described her experience:
 
"I enjoy working closely with my students. The student-mentor relationship is very positive—for both parties. Students enjoy the one-on-one help and personal attention.  I like knowing that I'm helping them achieve their educational goals while living their busy lives."

Hi Septian,

I want to quickly follow-up with you regarding the email I sent a few days ago about The Smart Choice Scholarship. It’s a limited-time scholarship opportunity for new WGU Texas Business students, and I wanted to make sure you had the chance to take advantage of this opportunity.

The Smart Choice Scholarship, valued at up to $2,000, can help make WGU Texas’ already low tuition even more affordable. Multiple scholarships will be awarded, so get your scholarship application in by September 30, 2017.

A degree can make a huge difference for careers and families. I’ve been lucky enough to see it happen several times, and I hope that WGU can help do the same for you. Complete your application today!
