Low Tuition No Matter Which Program You Elect

WGU's tuition is a flat rate every six months which comprises a term. Students can accelerate online programs by completing required assessments faster and save both money and time. Low tuition rates are highly competitive for a private, non-profit university and are designed for working adult students unable to take on financial hardship or school loans.

Extensive Financial Aid and Scholarships

• Pell Grants are available only for those who have not yet obtained a bachelor's degree.
• Federal Family Education Loans - interest on the loan is paid or subsidized while you're in school. There are generous terms for repayment plans after graduation.
• Federal Family Education Loans (Unsubsidized). Most students can qualify for this type of loan as it is not based on financial need.
• And a robust scholarship program through the generosity of donors and special grants puts WGU's online program in league with the best schools in the country!
