Scholarships for New Undergraduate Students
The University of Wyoming offers both general scholarships (those awarded at the time of admission to UW) and competitive scholarships (those for which students will be evaluated and chosen on a competitive basis). Below are those general scholarships offered to prospective new students applying to enroll at UW in Spring or Fall 2012. These scholarships are awarded based on their academic achievements at the time of admission to UW.
