    Congratulations!! icon_cheers.gif

    More reasons to like WGU -- reasonable tuition AND they like to throw some of their not-for-profit excess money back at qualified students. icon_cheers.gif

    Could you perhaps elaborate on how you accomplished acquiring this scholarship?
    I see you have the CompTIA collection of certs.

    I will also be doing the the the Net+ and Linux+ in the near future followed by taking the Microsoft path first in the longer term. I know a BS will help me as well and was considering WGU but funds during an apprenticeship are quite limited. Any help guiding me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

    There's a form to fill out online, I explained my situation via their forms. You also have to enroll, so they take into consideration your test score, resume, etc. I also had 2 letters of recommendation, and I had to have a scholarship interview
