WGU Offers a Scholarship for Forward Thinking

I have to say, WGU Indiana may just be one of the only businesses I don't mind getting mail from. Everyone else just sends me bills. WGU sends me swag. Since I already love this school, I am happy to make use of the swag. they tend to get pretty creative with it too, which always helps. But enough about me. Let's talk about yet another scholarship that WGU offers.

New students have a chance to start their academic career at WGU Indiana, off right.

This new scholarship valued at up to $2,000 and payable in four $500 installments over four sessions, requires only that you be a new student seeking admission and that you complete the essay "How My Degree at WGU Indiana Will Impact My Life". Completing the essay doesn't mean that you will automatically get he scholarship because you are in competition with other students, but since they plan to award more than just one or two, you probably have a pretty good shot. Check out some of the benefits of competing for this WGU scholarhsip.

• You get to define your goals. Because you are writing about how your degree can change your life, you have to sit down and think about why you are getting the degree in the first place. This encourages you to come up with a plan...maybe a five year plan that includes plans beyond obtaining the degree?
• If you win you basically just got paid $2,000 to describe a realistic dream about your future. I write for a living folks. Amounts like that are nothing to sneeze at.
• You are setting the tone for your academic future. Other than just applying for a scholarship, you get to take a long hard look at your future and how you want to handle it. There are plenty of opportunities for success at WGU Indiana, but you have to be willing to take steps toward them. You can do that before your classes even start by applying for this scholarship.

What do you have to lose? You get to take the chance that you will be paid to daydream? I'll even give you a head start by helping you avoid the application fee. Just type in IND1 when you apply and you won't have to pay the application fee.

Oh yeah, this is actually called the "Lose the Wait Scholarship" and you can get even more from WGU by posting a picture of a clock or watch on the WGU Indiana Facebook or Twitter page. In return, as a new student you will get some swag in the form of a Lose the Wait t-shirts. If you don't have a picture like that or the camera to take one, feel free to borrow mine at the top of this page!
