A foundation for education

The Wyoming Community Foundation will award over $200,000 to Wyoming students this year, helping students study at colleges, universities, and trade schools across Wyoming and the country. Until the deadline of March 1st, 2022, students can apply for scholarships for all majors, levels of study, and institutions. Many of these scholarships support multiple years of study, but must be applied for prior to starting college.

The Wyoming Community Foundation supports scholarship applicants in several ways. Students should visit WYCF.org/Scholarships to access a wide range of resources, and for information on how to apply for a scholarship.

In addition, Wyoming Community Foundation scholarship coordinator Daniel Galbreath will hold a series of virtual financial aid workshops in December. A session for current high school and college students on December 14 from 7-7:45pm will include advice on finding and applying for scholarships, and on writing a strong application. On December 15 from 7-7:45pm, parents and youth-serving organizations across the state are invited to a virtual session on how to best support scholarship applicants.

Both workshops will address financial aid opportunities beyond WYCF scholarships. Anyone interested in attending either session should email [email protected], call/text (307) 223-3063, or visit WYCF.org/Scholarships.

Funding opportunities for Wyoming students range from the scholarships for nursing students to those that support students focusing on art, aviation, or the sciences. In addition to general scholarships, many opportunities are specific to one locality. Students are encouraged to visit WYCF.org/scholarships to learn more about these local opportunities.

The Wyoming Community Foundation exists to connect donors with important causes throughout the state. Through a variety of types of fund, including scholarships, Wyoming donors can support their communities and state.
