I received notice today via email that I am one of the finalist for the ANPD scholarship worth $2000. They wanted to talk to me over the phone about my educational and professional background.I scheduled a phone interview this Friday and I am really nervous because getting this money would mean the world to me. Has anyone else received scholarship money from WGU? I will keep you all posted of the outcome!

I received a substantial scholarship for my MSN through WGU from AARP. ($1000/ term)

The interview is nothing to be feared. I got my decision immediately. Good luck- I'm sure you'll do fine!

Maryjean, did you apply through WGU? That is awesome! They are always saying there is money for people going back for nursing education. I want some of it!

Yes- the scholarship was listed in the WGU financial aid site. You 'only' had to be 40 to qualify (let's just say I'm WAAAYYYYY overqualified!) :)
