Walden University, an accredited online institution with 36 years of experience providing graduate-level education, has launched a need-based scholarship program to support and promote doctoral study. Known as the Walden University Doctoral Studies Scholarship, the fund is available for new Ph.D. and Ed.D. students across the university and is designed to increase the number of practicing scholars who will produce research to solve problems in their professions and directly implement solutions to important societal issues.
The Walden University Doctoral Studies Scholarship fund will award 200 scholarships of up to $10,000 each, which will be available to new students who meet financial need criteria, in increments of up to $2,000 per financial aid year. Walden University, with nearly 25 percent of its students enrolled in doctoral degree programs, has a strong history of post-graduate-level study in health and human services, psychology, public policy and administration, management and education for working professionals.
