Kickstart Wyoming’s Tomorrow Scholarship

Name: Kickstart Wyoming’s Tomorrow Scholarship

Award Amount: Up to $3,600 per academic year

Information And Eligibility:
The Kickstart Wyoming’s Tomorrow Scholarship is a statewide initiative created to expand access to higher education for Wyoming residents who are beginning or returning to their academic journey. Administered through the University of Wyoming and available across Wyoming’s eight community colleges, this scholarship helps reduce financial barriers for students pursuing certificates, associate degrees, or bachelor’s programs. The award aims to strengthen Wyoming’s workforce by supporting students who demonstrate financial need and a commitment to completing their education.

This scholarship program was designed to encourage new students—whether recent high school graduates, adult learners, or individuals re-entering higher education—to take the next step toward earning a credential that leads to increased career opportunities. Because it is need-based, applicants must provide documentation of financial eligibility, and award amounts may vary depending on institutional guidelines and available funds. In many cases, the Kickstart Scholarship can help cover tuition, course materials, and other academic expenses, providing significant relief for students balancing school with work or family responsibilities.

Recipients are expected to show dedication to their academic progress by maintaining satisfactory academic standards as defined by their institution. This helps ensure that scholarship support continues throughout the academic year and encourages students to remain on track toward completing their program.
