Gateway Scholarship

At WPI, we believe in the importance of lifelong learning and understand the unique challenges a working professional faces in making the decision to return to school. That is why we have created the Gateway Scholarship: to alleviate some of the financial strain that comes with advanced education.

Recipients will have up to four years to complete their master’s degree while receiving the benefits of this award. During this time, their tuition will be reduced per credit. The Gateway Scholarship will reduce tuition by 10% for your selected program (with a max of 4 years to complete)”

Five students will be selected each year to receive the Gateway Scholarship. Those who do not receive the award this year are welcome to apply every year.
