About the UWAA Scholarship Program

The support of Scholarship Club members allows the UW Alumni Association to provide four-year scholarships and single year awards to around 30 deserving students each year.  The application deadline falls in March; please check current applications for specific details.  Over $50,000 is awarded annually through this outstanding program. Learn more about becoming a Scholarship Club donor.

UWAA Scholarships Available

Recipients are selected annually from six Wyoming districts.  Two awards are given to students with out of state residency.  For out of state awards, at least one parent must be an alum.  One scholarship is reserved for the child of an in-state UWAA member, as well as one award for a Wyoming community college transfer.  These awards are all four year scholarships of $1500 per year.   In addition, the association offers a one-year $1500 scholarship to an outstanding UW junior or senior and a one-year $1500 scholarship to a UW graduate student. Each scholarship has specific application criteria.  PLEASE NOTE:  INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE SUBMITTED FOR EVALUATION. Get scholarship applications now.      

Named Scholarships & UW License Plate Program Awards

In addition to UWAA scholarships, the association coordinates selection for the Mary Lou Rechard Memorial Scholarship, the Platte Valley National Bank Scholarship, and the Shaw Family Scholarship, as well as a variety of awards funded by the UW License Plate Program.  Named scholarship applications are available here.

 

PLEASE NOTE:  Some UW License Plate Program scholarships are awarded by a UW Student Financial Aid Committee.  There is a separate application process for these scholarships.  Click the following link to get information about these awards:  http://www.uwyo.edu/sfa/scholarships/misc/license_plate.html
