How to win Wyoming scholarships

Wyoming is home to cowboys, national parks, and plenty of wide open spaces. So, in order to win Wyoming scholarships and be able to study in this awesome state, you just need to be yourself! 

You should emphasize your personal connection to Wyoming and what makes Wyoming such a great state. For example, if you grew up visiting Yellowstone National Park, you could describe in detail how amazing your experience was. Share how Yellowstone’s beauty inspired you to study conservation in college in order to preserve national parks such as Yellowstone. 

By simultaneously describing your own passions while emphasizing how awesome Wyoming is, you can prove to the scholarship officers that you will benefit from a scholarship to continue your education in Wyoming. 

Writing resources for writing Wyoming scholarship essays 

Many Wyoming scholarships may have you write an essay about yourself so be sure to familiarize yourself on some common scholarship essay prompts. Check out our guides on how to start a scholarship essay and how to end a scholarship essay to ensure your Wyoming scholarship application is perfect from beginning to end. 

Additionally, read over our Scholarships360 ultimate guide to finding and winning scholarships to ensure you are well prepared to win Wyoming scholarships! 

Wyoming student debt snapshot

According to the Department of Education, in total, Wyoming residents owe $1.7  billion in federal student loan debt. Student borrowers owe an average of $31,250 each (those numbers do not include private loans). Around 48.5% of loan borrowers are under the age of 35. As you are starting your higher education journey, remember that scholarships allow students to take fewer loans. Keep on reading to learn more about merit scholarships from colleges in Wyoming!

Merit scholarships at Wyoming colleges and universities

University of Wyoming

  • Eligibility: First year students with a strong cumulative unweighted high school GPA and ACT/SAT test scores
  • Amount: $2,500 up to $12,750
  • Deadline: Admission to the University of Wyoming

Consider in-state tuition and tuition reciprocity

In-state tuition allows residents of a state to receive cheaper tuition for a college or university in their state. Additionally, many universities and colleges reserve scholarships and financial aid for in-state students, which helps reduce the cost of attending college for those who live there.

For example here is the University of Wyoming’s in-state vs out-of-state tuition rates: 

University of Wyoming

  • In-state tuition: $4,980
  • Out-of-state tuition: $20,760

How do you get in-state tuition?

In order to obtain Wyoming residency for tuition purposes you will need to physically reside in Wyoming for at least 12 consecutive months before making an appeal for residency tuition. Then you will need to establish a domicile by doing the following: 

  • Wyoming vehicle registration
  • A valid Wyoming driver’s license
  • Gainful employment
  • A Wyoming voter registration
  • A Wyoming address on the most recent federal income tax return
  • Documented use of a local Wyoming bank
  • Change in permanent address on all records pertinent to Wyoming
  • Proof that the individual receives public assistance from the State of Wyoming

Does Wyoming offer tuition reciprocity? 

Wyoming is a part of the Western Undergraduate Exchange which is a tuition reciprocity program. This means that non-resident students at the University of Wyoming can be eligible for the WUE award which will pay tuition at 150% 0f the resident tuition which is significantly less than the out-of-state tuition price.
