Brown and Gold Commitment

Our office will consider final high school/secondary school transcripts as long as they are received no later than the first day of a student's incoming semester. This applies to student who have confirmed enrollment by the deadline. Increases are subject to available funding.

The University of Wyoming is proud to offer the Brown and Gold Commitment to eligible first-time international students (non-transfer). This Commitment is a merit-based financial pledge determined by a student's cumulative grade point average (GPA), and it has two levels of support paid annually: $8,000 and $5,000.

Students must be degree-seeking through UW's Laramie or Casper campuses. UW Online students are not eligible for these scholarships. (This is effective for fall 2025 new admits current recipients and/or recipients currently deferring will be permitted to complete their remaining terms of use in accordance with the published Terms & Conditions.)

The Brown and Gold Commitment is offered as a placeholder and will be funded with individual scholarships that are made possible through the generosity of UW Foundation donors and/or other institutional aid. Funding of this Commitment is contingent on the annual completion of the general application and any applicable recommended applications within WyoScholarships, UW's scholarship system.

The Brown and Gold Commitment normally cannot be combined with any additional institutional scholarship aid, including those made possible by the UW Foundation.
