WPI Online is proud to announce another year of the Gateway Scholarship, an award that will assist our students in funding their graduate education at WPI. 

At WPI Online, we believe in the importance of lifelong learning and understand the unique challenges a working professional faces in making the decision to return to school. That is why we have created the Gateway Scholarship: to alleviate some of the financial strain that comes with advanced education.

Recipients will have up to four years to complete their master’s degree while receiving the benefits of this award. During this time, their tuition will be reduced per credit. Given today’s costs, the scholarship would reduce tuition by 10%, which could result in nearly $5,000 in scholarship funding toward a WPI graduate education over four years. 

Six students will be selected each year to receive the Gateway Scholarship. Those who do not receive the award this year are welcome to apply every year.

In order to be eligible for the Gateway Scholarship:

  • Have applied and been accepted into a part-time, online master's degree program at WPI prior to August 5, 2022
  • Current graduate students must have a GPA of 3.0 at the time of application
  • Maintain a GPA of 3.0 or greater
  • Certify that the award amount does not exceed the out-of-pocket expenses for graduate education
  • Students who have applied for programs in The Business School are ineligible of receiving this scholarship but may be eligible for other scholarships here
  • WPI alumni do not qualify for this scholarship but do qualify for the alumni tuition incentive program

To apply: 

  • The application window for 2023 is now closed. During the application window, the application form will appear at the bottom of this page.
  • Write a 250-word essay on what makes you a deserving recipient of the Gateway Scholarship.
