The University of Wyoming Fall Bridge Program is excited to announce the availability of sophomore scholarships. To be eligible for the scholarship, you must be a first-year student who participated in the Fall Bridge Learning Community (completed a STEP 1000 course) in the previous semester. Scholarship money will be applied to recipients’ accounts to help cover tuition and fees during the following fall semester. The scholarship committee includes faculty and staff from the Fall Bridge program. Recipients will be notified via email in April.

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).
