California community college graduates will have most of their out of pocket expenses covered under a new program announced by Western Governors University. According to the statement, The California Gap Scholarship will be offered in the amount of tuition, leading to minimal out-of-pocket costs for students to earn their bachelor’s degrees at Western Governors University (WGU).
“Increasing access to affordable learning, and especially people from underserved backgrounds, is a big part of our mission,” said Rick Benbow, WGU regional vice president. “The California Gap Scholarship will support our efforts by allowing many community college students to seamlessly transfer into four-year degree programs with very little out-of-pocket cost.”
WGU has had a partnership agreement with the California Community College Board of Governors since 2017 that enables the state’ community college graduates to easily transfer credits to WGU and gives them a 5 percent tuition discount and access to scholarship opportunities.
Offering the California Gap Scholarship deepens the relationship of this partnership and further increases access to affordable post-secondary for California residents.
