Do you have a research idea but would need to buy supplies to be successful? Are you interested in an academic conference in your discipline but need financial support to travel? The Honors College is committed to supporting our students in all aspects of their educational pursuits. This means we offer Honors students a diverse array of grants, funding, and scholarships to support educational experiences. Check them out below!
To be eligible for Honors funding, students must have a 3.0 GPA or above. Applicants within the GPA range of 3.0-3.25 may be asked to meet with their Honors academic advisor.
Have an educational opportunity?
Do you need money to help support an educational experience? Perhaps there is an upcoming
conference in your major discipline you will like to attend or maybe you would like
to purchase research supplies necessary for a project you are working on. Apply for
the Honors College Enriched Educational Experience Fund to help support your pursuits.
Are you working on your Capstone?
The Honors College welcomes grant applications to support research and creative work, specifically to support the cost of materials and related travel. Please note that grant requests should not exceed $3000. Grant applications must be submitted on an individual (per student) basis, even if the project is a collaboration with other students.
Are you completing your capstone this semester?
Apply for the Capstone Completion grant for up to $500 to support your research and/or creative activity. The main purpose of the award is to give students a financial boost in the weeks leading to the completion of the capstone project.
Are you interested in ethical issues?
The Honors College has up to two $1,000 awards to support research and/or creative
activity for students in any field working on projects that engage issues of ethics in some capacity. This grant is officially named the James Willits Prize, supported
by the Garber family.
Gain a life-changing experience abroad.
Apply for funds to study abroad through the WyoScholarships application portal (the general scholarships application will be
required before the Honors Study Abroad/Away Application can be accessed).
Are you interested in gaining professional experience?
The Honors College has partnered with various community partners to support paid internships, which are typically paid at a rate of $15 per hour up to $2500. Check out the Honors Sponsored Internships and the organizations we have partnered with. Partners have previously included the City of Laramie, the Downtown Clinic, the UW Art Museum, and so many more.
