So, what's all this about a free class?
Well, here at FSW, we like to elevate expectations of what a state college can do for you. Sure, we can tell you about how 75% of our graduates are debt free or how we have affordable (seriously, affordable) study abroad opportunities to Italy, Amsterdam, and more. We could wax poetic about our 55+ programs and how our Guided Pathways and co- and extra-curricular activities can get you anywhere you want to go.
But we decided that the best way to change your perspective is to just give you an opportunity to experience a class with us free of charge.
So, one lucky person every month from May - July who follows the application instructions below will be randomly selected to be awarded a $400 scholarship!
Oh, and I guess we forgot to mention:
One extra lucky person who finds one of our billboards will be selected to receive a $2000 scholarship for Fall 2023!
