The University of Wyoming (UW) offers several graduate funding opportunities for students pursuing master’s and doctoral degrees. Rather than one single university-wide scholarship, funding is mainly provided through Graduate Assistantships (GAs), research assistantships, teaching assistantships, and department-specific scholarships.
Scholarship Benefits
Depending on the programme and funding source, graduate students may receive:
– Tuition and fee reductions or waivers
– Monthly or academic-year stipends
– Student health insurance
– Teaching or research experience
– Research and professional development opportunities
UW states that full graduate assistantships generally require about 20 hours of work per week. Current estimated annual packages are about $33,717 for doctoral students and $27,517 for master’s students, including stipend, tuition/fees and health insurance. Amounts can vary by department and funding source.
Eligibility
Applicants generally need to:
– Apply for an eligible graduate programme at UW
– Meet the academic requirements of their chosen department
– Demonstrate strong academic or research potential
– Meet English-language requirements where applicable
– Be available to undertake assistantship duties if funding is awarded
Requirements differ between departments.
