New undergraduates applying to the University of Wyoming will automatically be considered for one of UW's general scholarships based on their previous academic work. Check out www.uwyo.edu/scholarships for details on these general scholarships, and links to UW competitive scholarships available through various departments. Scholarship awards are subject to available funding.
Graduate students should connect directly with their academic program regarding funding options.
UW awards federal financial aid based on a student's Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) results. All students wishing to be considered for financial aid must complete the FAFSA (www.fafsa.ed.gov) and have the results sent to UW. Once received, the Student Financial Aid Office will post an award offer to the student's WyoWeb account.
Residents who qualify for Hathaway Scholarships are asked to also complete the FAFSA, regardless of desire to accept grants or loans.
