Scholarship Program

The 2026 Spring Scholarship Cycle has concluded, and the Scholarship Program is now CLOSED.

In order to remain fair to all applicants within the current scholarship cycle, we’re not able to review or award scholarships on an expedited basis. Applications are currently being reviewed all together by the Scholarship Review Committee to ensure that every applicant is considered equally, regardless of when they applied during the Spring Cycle.

Determination letters will go out to all applicants on May 18th. Should you not see a determination letter in your inbox by 5p.m. MT on May 18th, please check your spam.

NEXT SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITY

All scholarship awards are valid for five years following the award date. After that point, applicants will need to submit a new application. Scholarships cannot be applied retroactively to modules already registered and paid for.
