Financial Aid News
The Wyoming high school class of 2021 left an estimated $4,436,913 in Pell Grants by not completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Nearly half of these students were Pell Grant eligible. This matters because if the number of financial aid applicants goes down then the number of student loans and debt goes up. Don't choose debt to go to college when you can earn free money with the FAFSA that you won't have to pay back!
Watch an interview with former GEAR UP Wyoming - NWCCD participant, Christian Cabral (University of Wyoming Class of 2024). Christian shares her insights on applying for scholarships, especially the Daniels Fund Scholarship, and how useful they can be.
The Daniels Fund Scholarship is a "full-ride" scholarship to attend any 2-year or 4-year accredited college or university for up to four years with all tuition, fees, books and supplies, and living expenses covered. You can learn more about the Daniels Fund here.
