ROCK SPRINGS (WNE) — Kickstart Wyoming’s Tomorrow Scholarship is a new state-wide program that offers up to $1,800 per semester toward tuition at Wyoming’s eight community colleges and the University of Wyoming.

The state-funded scholarship program is for those aged 24 and older.

The scholarship was created by the Wyoming Legislature to help working adults obtain the skills and education necessary to reenter the workforce, move up in their current careers, or pursue new career paths.

Those eligible could receive up to $1,800 per semester if they are enrolled in 12 or more credit hours, and students are eligible for up to four full-time academic terms.

All awards are dependent on funding availability. Beyond the age requirement, applicants must be Wyoming residents, complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid and register for the Wyoming At Work program through the Department of Workforce Services.

This program provides access to information and career resources to assist in the job search process.

For more information, contact the financial aid advisement office at any of the eight community colleges and the University of Wyoming.
