WGU Texas student Misha Powell was recently awarded a Military Appreciation Scholarship. Powell, an Army, Air Force Reserve, and Texas Army National Guard veteran, recently joined a leading telecommunications company, which led him to a new career in IT. With this scholarship, he is on his way to earning his BS in Network Operations and Security degree and hopes to move into a network or security engineer role.

New and enrolling students may apply for the scholarship now at WGU Military Appreciation. Each scholarship will be credited to the student’s account at the rate of $625 per six-month term, renewable for up to four terms. Scholarships will be awarded based on a candidate’s academic record, financial need, readiness for online study at WGU, current competency, and other considerations.
