Refer a Student

What is the IWU Student Referral campaign?

We all know word-of-mouth is still one of the most powerful marketing options to ever exist. Through our new Student Referral Program, we are awarding alumni who refer a friend or relative to enroll in our university with a gift (based on a $300 value with three options to choose from), as well as to show our appreciation for incoming referred students by giving them a $1,500 alumni scholarship.

Here is your chance to get something for yourself and something for your friend!

Here's how it works...

Student Gets $1,500 Scholarship

Alumni will receive a gift at the completion of the referred student’s first course. Students, meanwhile, will receive their gift upon successful enrollment and engagement with a course (within 21-day window).

*Referral Campaign is valid for online, domestic students only.

How do you refer a student?

The referral campaign will be managed by Enrollment, who will manage the disbursement of student scholarships and credits for prospects, evaluate enrollment and engagement, and purchase and deliver gifts.

Who is eligible for this program?

Alumni Referral Awards are available when any new, online prospective student officially is referred by an alumnus/a of the university by indicating the alumnus/a’s name in the referral form.

Alumni and referred students are eligible, provided students meet the minimum engagement requirements. There are no barriers for the students being enrolled - alumni can refer a friend, a relative, or anyone else they know, regardless of age or connection. There is a limit to the number of people who can be referred, however.

  • The new student must apply, be admitted to an N&G (online) program for the August 2024 start date, and complete their first course at IWU.
