The Trustees' Scholars Award is the University of Wyoming's premier scholarship, given to roughly 100 Wyoming high school seniors each year who are degree-seeking at UW's Laramie or Casper campus (online students are not eligible). It covers tuition (up to 18 credits a semester), mandatory fees, and standard double room and board for up to eight consecutive semesters, with no separate scholarship application — selection comes from the UW admission file plus a second round of essays, a resume, and a high school administrator's contact information to certify good standing, followed by an online interview. Recent recipients averaged a 3.97 unweighted GPA and a 32 ACT composite, though there's no fixed cutoff to apply.
