USA Kennecott Land Sustainable Community Scholarship

[USA] Kennecott Land Sustainable Community Scholarship
(also known as the Kennecott Excellence in Education Scholarship)

The scholarship is valued up to $5,000. Tuition is $ 2,790 for a six-month term. The scholarship will be credited to your account at the rate of $1,000 per six-month term, leaving a balance of $1,790. Although WGU's competency-based model allows students to complete the requirements of a master's degree in less than two and a half years, the scholarship awards are based on a reasonable experience of five six-month terms to complete the program. Scholarships are awarded through the generosity of Kennecott Land Corporation.
