Western Union Scholarship Fund at University of the People

What it covers

[ad#contentadtext] This scholarship fund has been generously donated by Western Union. Through this fund scholarships are available for admitted students from the following countries: Brazil, China, Colombia, India, Jamaica, Mexico, Morocco, Nigeria, Philippines, Romania, Russia, Senegal, and Turkey. Students who have been admitted to the University from the above countries are welcome to apply for a Western Union scholarship. University of the People is a tuition-free, non-profit institution. The University does not charge students to take classes, does not charge for any reading and other study materials, and does not charge for annual enrollment. However, In order to remain sustainable, UoPeople charges small processing fees for application and examination processing. Applicants are charged a non-refundable onetime $10-$50 Application Processing Fee to cover the cost of reviewing and processing an application. The amount charged is based on the applicant’s place of residence – applicants from developing countries pay a lower amount. UoPeople charges an Exam Processing Fee of $100 per end-of-course exam. These fees, including the projected maximum cost for the entire degree program, are publicized on the website and in the Catalog. For those individuals who are unable to pay their Exam Processing Fees, UoPeople has created an innovative Micro-Scholarship Portal that will enable donors to contribute directly to individual students in need of assistance. Additionally, students might be able to apply for other scholarships, such as a UoPeople scholarship, or the afore mentioned Western Union Scholarship Fund.
