Wright State invites academically-accomplished students with demonstrated financial need to participate in the Take Flight program. This program covers the cost of up to 18 credit hours of in-state undergraduate tuition for qualifying students. To fund the program, Wright State combines federal and state grant funds along with institutional grants and/or scholarships to meet the cost of in-state tuition. Institutional scholarships and grants awarded as a part of the Take Flight program are renewable.  Students can remain in the Take Flight Program for a total of 8 semesters of full-time undergraduate study as long as they continue to meet certain criteria.

In addition to financial aid, students in the Take Flight program have a dedicated success team, including an academic advisor, success coach, and career consultant, as well as other unique benefits.
