No one should think that higher education is beyond his or her reach simply because of cost. With the help of federal, state, institutional and private funded scholarships and awards, students can achieve their educational goals for the future. Many WesternU colleges and programs offer incoming students recruitment scholarships based on the strength of a student\u2019s admissions application and interview as well as their contributions to the community. A separate application is not required. When a student is accepted into the program and selected for a scholarship, the offer will be made at the same time that the admissions offer is made.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mt-28\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"cta-arrow cta-arrow--white \" href=\"https:\/\/studentaid.gov\/apply-for-aid\/fafsa\/filling-out\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n    Submitting a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) <svg class=\"cta-arrow__icon d-block w-16 ml-12\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 16\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><polygon fill=\"currentColor\" points=\"11.3168217 0 9.27266614 2.39591605 14.0042587 6.6137266 8.92524936 6.42314237 0 6.42314237 0 9.57685763 8.92524936 9.57685763 14.0042587 9.3862734 9.19197579 13.6063528 11.3168217 16 20 8\"><\/polygon><\/svg>\n<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mt-16\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"cta-arrow cta-arrow--white \" href=\"\/financial\/scholarships\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n    Scholarships<svg class=\"cta-arrow__icon d-block w-16 ml-12\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 16\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><polygon fill=\"currentColor\" points=\"11.3168217 0 9.27266614 2.39591605 14.0042587 6.6137266 8.92524936 6.42314237 0 6.42314237 0 9.57685763 8.92524936 9.57685763 14.0042587 9.3862734 9.19197579 13.6063528 11.3168217 16 20 8\"><\/polygon><\/svg>\n<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n                          <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":198,"featured_media":0,"parent":21,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-4166","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stagewp.westernu.edu\/financial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stagewp.westernu.edu\/financial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stagewp.westernu.edu\/financial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stagewp.westernu.edu\/financial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/198"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stagewp.westernu.edu\/financial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4166"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"https:\/\/stagewp.westernu.edu\/financial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4166\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7713,"href":"https:\/\/stagewp.westernu.edu\/financial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4166\/revisions\/7713"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stagewp.westernu.edu\/financial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stagewp.westernu.edu\/financial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
