Each year the Fall Bridge program invites freshman students to apply for the Corkery First-Year Excellence Scholarship. To be eligible for this scholarship, students must have participated in Fall Bridge during their first semester on campus.
To apply, students must submit a 500 word (minimum) personal statement that answers the questions: What motivated you to pursue a college degree? What experiences or “moments” have you had in college so far that shaped your thinking, influenced you strongly, or helped you integrate in to the UW campus community (feel free to describe one or more). How do you think college will impact your future? What are your goals for after college?
Students must also ask a UW faculty or staff member to complete a recommendation in support of their scholarship application. In lieu of writing a formal letter, we ask that you please complete this recommendation form. However, if you have a recommendation letter already written, you can email it to uwbridge@uwyo.edu.
Students must turn in their personal statement by March 1st, 2024. Recommendations must be completed by March 29th, 2024.
Thank you for completing a scholarship recommendation for a Fall Bridge student. If you have any questions, please email uwbridge@uwyo.edu
