odds of study.com scholarship

[wil1928]

Does anyone happen to know what the odds of getting the study.com scholarship? 

Also is it easier to transfer study.com courses or CLEP credits to WGU? 


Thanks

[jsd]

I haven't heard of anyone here being declined for the scholarship, so it seems to have an extremely high acceptance rate.

WGU accepts both CLEP and Study.com, but different programs can be particular about what they accept. That degree are you looking at?

The percentages of those posting in forums about applying and receiving the scholarship are super high. I have only read one or two examples when someone did not receive the scholarship.

Let us know how it works out for you.

Thanks, I just applied this morning so I'm sure it will take a bit to hear back.

Here is the transfer guideline sheet for that program. Note that any courses in your program that are not on the sheet are not transferable in from outside sources and must be taken at WGU:

Here are the courses that I DON'T know are available through the course providers we discuss on this forum:

Math for Elementary Educators II
Children's Lit

Everything else is available through SL, Study.com, Coopersmith, and the other usual suspects.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong but it looks like any college algebra course would cover Mathematics II (but oddly would cover Mathematics I)

Ah - I didn't read the description, I thought it had to be a TEACHING MATH course, rather than just math.  Yeah, College Algebra and Stats, or College Algebra and Precalc look like they would work.

I made a typo, algebra will NOT cover Mathematics I, but WILL cover II. Conversely, stats will cover I, but not II.
