Wings Up Summer Tuition Grant
Fast Forward to Graduation with the Wings Up Summer Tuition Grant
The Wings Up Summer Tuition Grant is an initiative set forth by Our Lady of the Lake University to help seniors stay on track to graduate while helping to ease some of the financial burden at the same time.
Through the grant program, seniors* can take up to eight credit hours (average of two courses depending on the credit hours of individual courses) during the summer at 50% of the regular tuition cost (certain requirements apply). Summer semesters for undergraduates include traditional Summer I, Summer II, and Summer III.
