Salt Creek Energy Excellence Scholarship
College of Law
Established in 2015 by University of Wyoming alums and benefactors practicing in the
areas of oil and gas and energy law, the Salt Creek Energy Excellence Scholarship
is awarded to students demonstrating academic achievement and a commitment to the
study and practice of energy law.
Salt Creek Scholars are honored at the annual Landscape Discussion on Energy Law and
Policy and promoted to potential employers throughout the Salt Creek Scholars donor
network. The intent is to connect these students to a network of friends and donors as a way
to enhance employment and mentorship opportunities within the field.
The Salt Creek Scholar is selected by the Salt Creek Energy Excellence Scholarship
Committee, which is comprised of the director(s) of the Center for Law and Energy
Resources in the Rockies (CLERR), the College of Law professor who teaches oil & gas
law, and no less than three of the donors to the fund selected at random by the director(s)
of CLERR and approved by the dean of the College of Law.
