Wyoming Department of Education

The Wyoming Department of Education (WDE) helps parents and guardians of Wyoming students support the education and growth of their children. Below are some opportunities available:

‍

State Scholarship Opportunities

• Douvas Memorial Scholarship - is a Wyoming scholarship opportunity awarded to a first-generation American youth who demonstrates financial need and the motivation to attend college at a Wyoming community college or the University of Wyoming.
• U.S. Presidential Scholars Program - is one of the nation's most distinguished honors and recognition programs available to high school seniors.

Institutional Scholarships

Colleges provide institutional grants and scholarships to help make up the difference between college costs and what a family can be expected to contribute through income, savings, loans, and student earnings. Awards may be based on academic merit, artistic or athletic talent, financial need, or other factors. You can learn more about the types of institutional grants and scholarships awarded by checking each college's financial aid website.

‍

Private Scholarships

Private scholarships provide funding for students who meet the requirements specified by the donor organization. Local organizations or businesses may offer scholarships to students who plan to study at a regional college or plan to pursue a degree in a particular field of study.

Check with your High School Guidance Counselor office for details about local and regional scholarships.
