Thought you all might want to see that. I know WGU has been put through the ringer. It's really ridiculous how they are being harassed given that they were started by a group of governors to help the people and the economy.

We have a WGU Texas, and it never qualified for state grants. Texas only gives state financial aid to students attending Texas public colleges and universities. Since WGU is private, it does not qualify.

Title is a little misleading. The school will still be "recognized" and accredited/valid in Ohio, but their students won't qualify to receive state student aide.
