BYU-Pathway Rolls Out Guaranteed Scholarship

Starting November 1, BYU-Pathway Worldwide will begin offering a guaranteed scholarship to every student who starts a degree through its PathwayConnect program.

Named the Heber J. Grant Scholarship, students will be awarded a tuition discount of 10, 25, or 50 percent off of their tuition balance.* The percentage discount awarded will be determined by need. Other scholarships are also available, which may further reduce a student’s tuition cost.

“Our tuition price is extremely low, but even with the low prices some students still struggle to afford to earn a degree,” said Brian Ashton, president of BYU-Pathway Worldwide. “We are so grateful for generous donors who have now made it possible for us to provide a scholarship to every student who needs it.”

Tuition prices vary by country and are set to match local economic circumstances. In the United States, for example, students pay just $77 USD/credit, whereas students in Zimbabwe pay only $5 USD/credit.

BYU-Pathway has been piloting this scholarship for one year prior to launching it to all students. Hear what a few students who have received the scholarship have to say:
