The Graduate Return to Learnm Scholarship is a $500/semester award for up to two semesters designed to support graduate students who are returning to their academic journey after stepping away for a year or more. This scholarship aims to assist individuals who have taken time away from classes and school for various reasons, providing them with the financial support as they re-embark on their educational pursuits.

 

Eligibility Requirements: To be eligible for the RTL Scholarship, applicants must meet the following criteria: 

  • Previous Registration: Applicants must have last registered for classes a year or longer ago. Students taking classes regularly (e.g., semester-on, semester-off) are not eligible.  
  • Degree-Seeking Program: Applicants must have been enrolled in a degree-seeking program at the graduate level, either in a master's or doctoral program. Certificate and non-degree students are not eligible.  
  • Progress Toward Completion: To ensure a meaningful impact and to align with the university's commitment to academic achievement, applicants must have completed at least two-thirds (2/3) of the required credits for their chosen program.
