Featured Scholarships
We post “featured scholarships” as we are made aware of them, so please return periodically. Note, spring is scholarship season for Fullerton College, as many of our campus and district scholarships are made available in the spring semester. Once the Friends of Fullerton College Foundation opens the scholarship application, it will be the first one we will post in this section. This section is updated periodically, so visit us again!

Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE)
The Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) is an agreement among WICHE’s 16 members, through which 160+ participating public colleges and universities provide steep nonresident tuition savings for Western students. Click here for the full list of participating WUE schools!
Through WUE, eligible students can choose from hundreds of undergraduate programs outside their home state and pay no more than 150 percent of that institution’s resident tuition rate! Since full nonresident college-tuition rates may exceed 300 percent of resident rates, WUE increases affordable higher-education choices for students, and minimizes the adverse impacts of student loan debt.
