About this Scholarship

Western Union Foundation Global Scholarship Program About Western Union Foundation Global Scholarship Program WHAT IS THE WU SCHOLARS PROGRAM?

Educational pursuits to gain knowledge and skills for in-demand, 21st century careers are helping people all over the world climb the economic ladder. To us, a better education means better employment opportunities. And with better employment opportunities comes improved earning potential. As Western Union CEO Hikmet Ersek says, “Education is powerful.
