LARAMIE, Wyo. — One hundred outstanding high school seniors from across Wyoming were recently selected to receive the 2025 Trustees’ Scholars Award, the University of Wyoming’s top academic scholarship.
The premier award for Wyoming resident high school seniors provides a four-year scholarship for an undergraduate degree (or up to eight consecutive semesters), including tuition for up to 18 hours per semester; mandatory fees; and university standard double room and board, providing the student lives in university housing and has a meal plan.
Students from 29 high schools were chosen, along with two home-schooled students.
Recipients are evaluated on their academic excellence, measured by their high school grade-point average, ACT/SAT scores and curriculum rigor. Individual interviews were held as well. For this year’s award winners, the average GPA is 3.97, and the average ACT score is 32.
Of the 970 Wyoming high school seniors who applied to UW by Dec. 1, 362 students were considered for the award; 141 were invited to campus for interviews; and 100 were ultimately selected.
To retain the scholarship all four years at UW, students must maintain full-time continuous enrollment — at least 12 semester hours — during the fall and spring semesters each year and maintain a 3.25 cumulative GPA.
