High Altitude Pathways

High Altitude Pathways Program

The University of Wyoming’s High Altitude Pathway (HAP) program, funded by a three-year $1.2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education’s Rural Postsecondary and Economic Development Program, aims to improve postsecondary enrollment and completion among rural students in Wyoming. Launched in collaboration with CFES Brilliant Pathways, the program provides high school students and community leaders with essential tools and training to enhance college and career readiness. The initiative targets increasing the number of Wyoming residents with postsecondary education to support the state's economic growth by preparing students for in-demand careers. The program partners with 10 public schools, alternative education centers, and after-school programs throughout the state to implement its objectives and training, impacting up to 2,000 students.
