Presidential Scholarship Recipients Named Recipients' public service goals include facilitating cross-cultural exchanges, creating a heightened level of care for psychological clients and providing an effective guide to economic leadership. Walden University awards $5,000 Presidential Scholarships to graduates of a Walden masters program who pursue a doctorate at Walden.
