The Founding Cohort Scale
Wilder's tuition assistance fund is finite. Funds are budgeted, and replenished once a year as availability allows. Approval and amount are decided case by case, based on alignment, need, owner discretion, and what the fund can carry at the time.
There's a section in the application where you can ask to be considered. The tiers below show the range the fund can reach.
