Native American Student Scholarships and Programs

Help us support student success!

The University of Wyoming is committed to supporting Native American student success through a variety of programs and initiatives. Your contribution helps us provide the resources and experiences to support Native students on their academic journeys.

The University of Wyoming sits upon the ancestral lands of the Cheyenne, Arapaho, Crow, and Shoshone Indigenous peoples, along with other Native tribes who call the Great Basin and Rocky Mountain region home. The United States recognizes Indigenous peoples from 574 federally recognized tribal nations and 75 state-recognized tribes. Currently, UW students have ties to the Wind River Reservation and more than 10 other tribes.

Join us in helping Native students thrive at UW through one of the following campaigns:

• Native American Education, Research, and Culture Center,
• High Plains American Indian Research Institute,
• Native and Indigenous Studies,
• Native American Summer Institute,
• Chief Washakie Memorial Fund,
• Northern Arapaho Endowment Fund, and
• a number of additional scholarships.

Your generous donation will make a positive impact to our students. Thank you!
