WT offers students hope and opportunity through financial aid
WTAMU Newsroom
CANYON — Incoming and continuing students at West Texas A&M University can qualify in two ways for free money, thanks to a pair of financial aid avenues — the WT Hope Scholarship and the WT Opportunity Grant.
The WT Hope Scholarship offers more than $500,000 for first-time and transfer students who reflect the state’s demographics, particularly minorities, first-generation students and students from low-income families.
“Many high school graduates want to continue their education, but they think, for any number of reasons, that college just isn’t an option for them,” said Jeffrey Baylor, executive director of admissions. “The Hope Scholarship is intended to open up educational options for these students and is just one way that shows how committed we are to serving a diverse student body at WT.”
