Wyoming Adult Student Scholarship

Name: Wyoming Adult Student Scholarship

Award Amount: Varies

Information And Eligibility:
The Adult Student Scholarship provides vital financial support to learners aged 25 and older who are pursuing higher education at the University of Wyoming. This scholarship recognizes the unique challenges faced by adult students, many of whom balance academic commitments with work, family responsibilities, or a return to school after time away. By offering flexible financial assistance, the award encourages adult learners to continue their education, complete their degrees, and advance their personal and professional goals.

The scholarship is open to undergraduate and graduate students who meet the age requirement and are enrolled at the University of Wyoming. Award amounts vary each year depending on funding availability and the financial needs of applicants.
