Full Scholarships For The Students of University of Wyoming

The University of Wyoming has introduced the Trustees Pride Scholarship Program which offers eligible students full scholarships that cover tuition $ fees and room & board.
The Universities decision to offer the full scholarship comes after the state decided to invest 400 million dollars in an endowment for the new Hathway Scholarship Program. With the additional funding from the state, UW can now use its funds to offer big-ticket scholarships and keep the top high school students from leaving Wyoming.
Since last fall, Wyoming has been offering up to $3200 to qualifying high school students who attend UW or the states community colleges.
Students with a high school GPA of 3.7 or above and ACT scores of 29 or higher qualify for the Trustees Pride Scholarship Program. The scholarship, amounting to almost $14,600 replaces the Trustee Superior Scholarship and the Presidents Honor Scholarships, which were available to fewer students.
One of the main reasons why Wyoming is getting aggressive with its education funding is the depleting pool of its high school graduates. According to the department of education, the state lost almost 900 graduates between the years 2000 - 2005. This was mainly due to out of state colleges offering bigger scholarships.
Currently, only about 13% of Wyoming's high school graduates attend UW and about one-third attend community college. If the university wants to sustain its target population of around 13,000 students, it will have to recruit a larger percentage of Wyoming graduates each year. By revamping its scholarship structure, UW hopes to raise its profile and reduce the leakage of bright students from the state. The University is also luring non-resident students with good grades by offering them higher scholarships.
