Grant Overview

Wyoming is home to 11 federally recognized Native American tribes, with many students facing unique cultural and financial barriers to pursuing higher education. The Native American Scholarship program in Wyoming aims to address these barriers by providing financial support to students pursuing higher education in fields such as energy, natural resources, and environmental conservation. To be eligible, applicants must be enrolled members of a federally recognized Native American tribe and Wyoming residents, with priority given to those pursuing degrees in high-demand fields. The application requires documentation of tribal enrollment and a personal statement outlining the applicant's academic and career goals. Wyoming's Native American Scholarship program is distinct from neighboring states due to its focus on supporting students in fields critical to the state's economy, such as energy and natural resources. Unlike Montana, which prioritizes scholarships for students pursuing degrees in healthcare, Wyoming's program is tailored to the specific needs of its Native American population. Wyoming's Frontier Counties and Native American Communities Wyoming's frontier counties, which cover over 97% of the state's land area, are home to many of the state's Native American communities. The Native American Scholarship program prioritizes students from these areas, recognizing the unique challenges they face in accessing higher education. By supporting students in these communities, the program can help address the state's workforce shortages in critical fields such as energy and natural resources. Who Should Apply in Wyoming? Native American students in Wyoming who are pursuing higher education in fields such as energy, natural resources, and environmental conservation are encouraged to apply. The funding prioritizes students who are enrolled members of a federally recognized Native American tribe and Wyoming residents, with a demonstrated commitment to contributing to the state's economy and communities. Wyoming's Tribal Partnerships and Scholarship Program Wyoming's Native American Scholarship program is made possible through partnerships with tribal organizations and local businesses. By working together, the state can provide students with the support and resources they need to succeed in higher education and pursue careers in critical fields. The program's focus on building these partnerships sets it apart from similar programs in other states, and demonstrates Wyoming's commitment to supporting its Native American population.
