Brown and Gold Commitment (International First-Year)

University of Wyoming, United States

Scholarship overview

The Brown and Gold Commitment is a merit-based annual financial pledge for eligible new first-time international students (non-transfer) entering the University of Wyoming. The amount is set by cumulative GPA and paid annually at two levels.

It is a placeholder funded by individual UW Foundation donor scholarships and/or other institutional aid, contingent on annual completion of the general application and any recommended applications in WyoScholarships, UW's scholarship system. It normally cannot be combined with other institutional scholarship aid, including UW Foundation awards.
