This information is for the Fall 2025/Spring 2026 academic year. Unless otherwise noted, awards listed are for the academic year and not by semester.
The University of Wyoming wants resident transfer students to know that finalizing their four-year degree is within reach. We are proud to offer the WY Transfer Commitment, an annual renewing financial pledge to new first-time students from Wyoming who transfer to the University of Wyoming. This Commitment is a merit-based financial pledge determined by a student's cumulative transfer GPA, and it has three levels of support paid annually: $3,000, $2,000, and $1,000.
Students must be degree-seeking through UW's Laramie or Casper campuses. UW Online students are not eligible for these scholarships. (This is effective for fall 2025 new admits; current recipients and/or recipients currently deferring will be permitted to complete their remaining terms of use in accordance with the published Terms & Conditions.)
The WY Transfer Commitment is offered as a placeholder and will be funded annually with individual scholarships that are made possible through the generosity of UW Foundation donors and/or other institutional aid. Funding of this Commitment is contingent on the annual completion of the general application and any applicable recommended applications within WyoScholarships, UW's scholarship system.
The WY Transfer Commitment normally cannot be combined with any additional institutional scholarship aid, including those made possible by the UW Foundation.
Please note: All University of Wyoming financial awards are only available to eligible admits. The awards are subject to available funding and the approval of the UW Board of Trustees; they reserve the right to change said rates at any time.
Available to new first-time resident transfer students seeking their first bachelor's degree.
GPA is calculated using grades earned in credits taken at previous institutions.
Transfer credits must be a minimum of 12 completed post-high school.
Cumulative Transfer GPA | Annual Amount |
---|---|
3.00 - 3.30 | $1,000 |
3.31 - 3.84 | $2,000 |
3.85 - 4.00 | $3,000 |
Our office will consider final transfer transcripts as long as they are received no later than the first day of class of a student's incoming semester. This applies to students who have confirmed enrollment by the above deadlines. Increases are subject to available funding.
The WY Transfer Commitment is renewable for up to 6 semesters (3 academic years) or completion of first bachelor's degree, whichever comes first.
