All funding for the 2020-21 Academic Year has been allocated. The University of Wyoming is proud to offer the Nebraska Transfer Award to Nebraska residents who transfer to the University of Wyoming.  Transfer students who have earned an associate’s degree with a 3.4 GPA or higher will pay tuition at 150 percent of the resident tuition, which is approximately $12,240 less than the standard non-resident tuition for students taking 15 credit hours per semester.
