Giving Tuesday is a global day of generosity established in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good for others. This year, Giving Tuesday is November 29, 2022. We encourage Night Owls across the country to celebrate and participate with a gift to one of our three vital student funds that help WGU students achieve their educational goals and dreams.

  • The WGU Student Emergency Aid Fund provides emergency aid to help current WGU students with non-tuition expenses that may seriously jeopardize their academic journeys.
  • The WGU Online Access Scholarship Fund covers the cost of installing and accessing the internet for students who might not otherwise be able to get online. This scholarship also provides recipients with a refurbished laptop, complete with a webcam.
  • The WGU Fellow Night Owl Scholarship Fund provides WGU students and alumni an opportunity to support their peers who need some financial help crossing the finish line to graduation.
