dear students,In 2005, the state of Wyoming developed a program to give each Wyoming student the opportunity to attend college. The Wyoming legislature honored former Governor Stanley K. Hathaway by developing a scholarship program from the permanent Mineral Trust Fund he set up. Because of this Trust fund, every year the state of Wyoming is able to invest over $16 million dollars and over 5,500 scholarships to students to help them go to college in Wyoming. Wyoming students have a unique opportunity unlike any other state and the information here will help you get your Hathaway Scholarship! Every Wyoming student has the opportunity to use the Hathaway Scholarship. Don’t miss out; make sure you’re one of them! Talk to your school counselor or go to hathawayscholarships.org for more information.

Sincerely,

The hathaway scholarship team
