Supporting University of Wyoming Students
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, a college education almost doubles a person's future income. However, attending the university isn't an option for many students from small-town Wyoming-unless they receive a scholarship-and even then, they often have to work or take on substantial debt. That's one of the many things that makes the John L. Kemmerer, Jr. Scholarship so invaluable. It pays for everything a student needs-tuition, books, lodging, and food-for students from Kemmerer and Dubois and pays for tuition and fees for students from Cokeville. Therefore, the Kemmerer Scholarship maintains up to 12 students at the university at one time.
