Walden University is offering an innovative new program for working adults who want another go at earning an accredited college degree: the Believe and Achieve Scholarship.
The online school will be offering its Believe and Achieve Scholarship starting in February, offering undergraduate, graduate, and flex-learning students a chance at free college credits. Most of their course-based programs will be eligible for the scholarship while some programs may provide less or more.
“Many Walden University students are working professionals who carry not only the stresses of an ongoing career but also quite often the responsibility of supporting a family,” said Walden University Associate President and Provost Sue Subocz. “The Believe and Achieve Scholarship helps make our great programs even more affordable for students while maintaining the flexibility working professionals need.”
Here is what students can earn with the Believe and Achieve Scholarship depending on their college level:
