Testimonials

College of Engineering, Class of 2018 I am going into my third year as a mechanical engineering major and if you know anything about engineering you will understand when I tell you I have little to no time to work on the side, therefore  I have had some difficulty paying my tuition bills. I saw an email about the WSU High program and thought it was too good to be true because there aren't too many people or programs that cares enough that they would go out and help someone in hard time pay for their tuition.The WSU High program has covered the remaining balance of $313.96. The WSU HIGH program was definitely a blessing that I really needed. -Anonymous, College of Engineering, Class of 2018
